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. 410 0$aNew perspectives on modern Jewish history ;$vv 7. 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJews$xRescue 606 $aJews$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aZionism$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aHolocaust. 610 $aJewish Organizations. 610 $aWorld Jewish Congress. 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xJews$xRescue. 615 0$aJews$xPolitical activity 615 0$aZionism$xHistory 676 $a940.53/18 700 $aSegev$b Zohar$0802690 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140531803321 996 $aThe World Jewish Congress during the Holocaust$92288392 997 $aUNINA
