New York, N Y: The American Jewish Committee, 1946. Soft cover. Very Good+. VG+ Very clean copy, no foxing, firmly stapled with excellent color, though a light fade around spine. 54 pages with illustrations and b&w photos. Between the 1930s and the 1940s, the American Jewish Committe became more active in the support of Jewish Displaced Persons from Europe. The AJC with other groups worked as a successful lobby to bring 100,000 Jewish Displaced Persons to the United States. This book represents thought at that time for incorporation into American society; not only for the new immigrants but also for the American Jews as there was some antisemitic feelings in this country.
