----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Ariel Hurwitz <ari...@galon.org.il> Sent: Mon, March 21, 2011 2:41:38 AM Subject: New Book, Jews Wothout Power, by Ariel Hurwitz To all friends and colleagues, A book written by me and entitled, Jews Without Power, has just come off the press and is now available both in a printed form and in electronic versions. Ordering details at the end of this email. The book, Jews Without Power, deals with the policies of the American government, the American public and the American Jewish community during the period of the Holocaust. It concentrates on the role played by the American Jewish leadership and sheds a new and more favorable light on the role of the Jewish leadership, and on the many efforts of their organizations to rally support for rescue. The book analyzes the activities of the Jewish organizations against the backdrop of American policy, public opinion and burgeoning antisemitism. It examines the options open to the Jewish leadership and concludes that their area of maneuverability was very limited, but not totally exploited. Sincerely, Ariel Hurwitz Historians who have read the book have written: "Hurwitz reveals not only breadth and depth in research and use of archival material previously unknown, but an excellent understanding of the complexities of the subject... and describes this all in an exceptional manner... No one has described these circumstances in so masterly a fashion as the author has succeeded in doing." "Superior scholarshipÂ… it reads well and is an interesting presentation." "It is the kind of balanced view that the field needed." "No one has described these circumstances in so masterly a fashion as the author has succeeded in doing." "This is a very important work, and it contributes many novel ideas to our understanding of both the Jewish and the American response to the Holocaust." "Hurwitz's analysis is brilliantÂ… Hurwitz reached important and innovative conclusions."
