Drawing on hitherto neglected archival materials, Zohar Segev sheds
new light on the policy of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) during
the Holocaust. Contrary to popular belief, he can show that there
was an impressive system of previously unknown rescue efforts. Even
more so, there is evidence for an alternative pattern for modern
Jewish existence in the thinking and policy of the World Jewish
Congress. WJC leaders supported the establishment of a Jewish state
in Palestine but did not see it as an end in itself. They strove to
establish a Jewish state and to rehabilitate Diaspora Jewish life,
two goals they saw as mutually complementary. The efforts of the
WJC are put into the context of the serious difficulties facing the
American Jewish community and its representative institutions
during and after the war, as they tried to act as an ethnic
minority within American society.
