Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. David Eli Lilienthal (July 8, 1899 - January 13, 1981) was an American public official who served in many different governmental roles over the course of his career. He is best known for being a director of the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1933, and the TVA chairman from 1941-1946, and as chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission from 1947-1950. David Lilienthal was the oldest son of immigrants. His mother, Minna Rosenak Lilienthal, had left a mother behind in Smolenice, Slovakia, emigrating to America with her 11-year-old brother. Lilienthal's father Leo, from Austro-Hungary and then Vienna, had been forced to do heavy labor as an 11-year-old, and had been brutalized by the Austro-Hungarian Army. When Lilienthal later offered his father a trip back to Vienna as a gift, he bluntly refused: Never want to see it again. David Lilienthal was born in Morton, Illinois in 1899 and raised in several Indiana towns, principally Valparaiso and Michigan City.
