In 1914, seven million Jews across Eastern Europe and the Eastern
Mediterranean were caught in the crossfire of warring empires in a
disaster of stupendous, unprecedented proportions. In response,
American Jews developed a new model of humanitarian relief for
their suffering brethren abroad, wandering into American foreign
policy as they navigated a wartime political landscape. The effort
continued into peacetime, touching every interwar Jewish community
in these troubled regions through long-term refugee, child welfare,
public health, and poverty alleviation projects. Against the
backdrop of war, revolution, and reconstruction, this is the story
of American Jews who went abroad in solidarity to rescue and
rebuild Jewish lives in Jewish homelands. As they constructed a new
form of humanitarianism and re-drew the map of modern philanthropy,
they rebuilt the Jewish Diaspora itself in the image of the modern
social welfare state.
