He was 89. Rosenstein, 6 foot 4 inches, played in the frontcourt and was one of eight Jewish Knickerbockers when they played the Toronto Huskies in Toronto on Nov. 1, 1946, in the debut of the new Basketball Association of America. He scored five points in a game won by the Knicks, 68-66. The BAA merged with the National Basketball League in 1949 to form the National Basketball Association, and the NBA considers the Knicks-Huskies game its first. Rosenstein was traded to the Providence Steamrollers, then helped the Scranton Miners of the American Basketball League to championships in 1949-50 and 1950-51. In the latter season, he led the team in scoring with an average of 11.7 points. He later became a coach in the semipro Eastern Pro League. Rosenstein, who also starred at Boys High School in Brooklyn and City College, was inducted into the Jewish Hall of Fame in 1998 and the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007. Bill Would Honor Miep Gies Washington/JTA — A bill honoring the life of the woman who hid Anne Frank's family and salvaged her diary is wind- ing its way through the U.S. House of Representatives. The non-binding resolution seeking to honor the life of Miep Gies is sponsored by Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, D-Ohio, and has 60 co-sponsors. Gies helped to hide the Frank family from 1942 until they were turned in by an unknown informant in August 1944. Gies discovered the diary pages and saved them in her desk for Anne's return. When Anne's death in Bergen-Belsen was confirmed, Gies turned the documents over to Anne's father, Otto. The bill commends Gies, who died on Jan. 11, just shy of her 101st birthday, "for her bravery during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands and her dedication to preserving the memory of Anne Frank and the Holocaust."
