Holocaust-era analysis and proposals for post-war solutions for Jewish settlement, citizenship, and rights from this important Left-Liberal American magazine.
During the critical period for the Displaced Persons (DPs) of August 1945- December 1949, seven American Jews served as Advisers on Jewish Affairs to the Theater Commanders of the U.S. Forces in Europe, interpreting Army regulations to the DPs and advising and guiding the American commanders, who were not familiar with Jewish matters. The longest serving of these advisors was the author, Philip S. Bernstein.
For a full analysis of Bernstein’s role and biography, see Haim Genizi’s excellent essay, “Philip S. Bernstein: Adviser on Jewish Affairs, May 1946-August 1947,” at https://www.museumoftolerance.com/education/archives-and-reference-library/ online-resources/simon-wiesenthal-center-annual-volume-3/annual-3-chapter-6 .html
