Miscellaneous
Pollard divorced his first wife, Anne, after her release from prison. Following his divorce, he remarried an activist who had been working to free him, Esther "Elaine" Zeitz. Mrs. Pollard is active in the Israeli media on her husband's behalf, calling for his release or criticizing officials she believes have forgotten about him. In 1996, she embarked upon a public hunger strike, which she hoped would lead to the release of her husband. There have been some questions in the media as to whether the two are actually legally wed.
Pollard's story inspired the movie Les Patriotes (The Patriots) by French director Éric Rochant in which American actor Richard Masur portrayed a character resembling Pollard.
The controversial Jewish settlement Beit Yonatan in Silwan, an Arab neighborhood of Jerusalem, is named after him.
