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.New perspectives on modern Jewish history ;v 7.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)World War, 1939-1945JewsRescueJewsPolitical activityUnited StatesZionismHistory20th centuryHolocaust.Jewish Organizations.World Jewish Congress.Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)World War, 1939-1945JewsRescue.JewsPolitical activityZionismHistory940.53/18Segev Zohar802690MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996308833703316The World Jewish Congress during the Holocaust2288392UNISA
