Rescue, Relief, and Resistance
How American labor leaders came to the rescue of political and Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. Rescue, Relief, and Resistance: The Jewish Labor Committee's Anti-Nazi Operations, 1934–1945 is the English translation of Catherine Collomp’s award-winning book on the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC). Formed in New York City in 1934 by the leaders of the Jewish Labor Movement, the JLC came to the forefront of American labor’s reaction to Nazism and antisemitism. Situated at the crossroads of several fields of inquiry—Jewish history, immigration and exile studies, American and international labor history, World War II in France and in Poland—the history of the JLC is by nature transnatio...
Rescue, Relief, and Resistance
Rescue, Relief, and Resistance: The Jewish Labor Committee's Anti-Nazi Operations, 1934-1945 is the English translation of Catherine Collomp's award-winning book on the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC). Formed in New York City in 1934 by the leaders of the Jewish Labor Movement, the JLC came to the forefront of American labor's reaction to Nazism and Anti-Semitism. Situated at the crossroads of several fields of inquiry--Jewish history, immigration and exile studies, American and international labor history, World War II in France and in Poland--the history of the JLC is by nature transnational. It brings to the fore the strength of ties between the Yiddish-speaking Jewish worlds across the glob...
Résister au nazisme
Fondé à New York en 1934 pour lutter contre le nazisme et l'antisémitisme en Europe et contre leurs répercussions aux Etats-Unis, le Jewish Labor Committee a joué un rôle capital dans le sauvetage et l'accueil des victimes de la répression hitlérienne. Issue du Bund, mouvement syndicaliste juif créé à la fin du XIXe siècle dans l'Empire russe, cette organisation a su obtenir le soutien de l'American Federation of Labor pour mettre sur pied un réseau de solidarité destiné non seulement aux juifs mais aussi aux dirigeants syndicaux et aux socialistes allemands, autrichiens, italiens, polonais, tchèques. En 1940-1941, elle organise deux filières d'évacuation vers les Etats-Uni...
An American in Hitler's Berlin
This is the first published edition of the diary of Abraham Plotkin, an American labor leader of immigrant Jewish origin who lived in Berlin between November 1932 and May 1933. A firsthand account of the Weimar Republic's final months and the early rise of Nazi power in Germany, Plotkin's diary focuses on the German working class, the labor movement, and the plight of German Jews. Plotkin investigated Berlin's social conditions with the help of German Social-Democratic leaders whose analyses of the situation he records alongside his own. Compared to the writings of other American observers of the Third Reich, Plotkin's diary is unique in style, scope, themes, and time span. Most accounts of ...
Résister au nazisme. The Jewish Labor Committee (1939-1945)
Fondé à New York en 1934 pour lutter contre le nazisme et l'antisémitisme en Europe et contre leurs répercussions aux États-Unis, le Jewish Labor Committee (JLC) a joué un rôle capital dans le sauvetage et l'accueil de victimes de la répression hitlérienne. Située à la croisée de l'immigration juive et du mouvement syndical américain, cette organisation a su mettre sur pied un réseau de solidarité politique international. Destiné initialement aux dirigeants syndicaux et socialistes allemands, autrichiens, italiens, polonais, tchèques, et anciens mencheviks russes, ce réseau est imbriqué dans celui que dirige Varian Fry à Marseille. En 1940-1941, le JLC parvient à secouri...
Migration Control in the North Atlantic World
The migration movements of the 20th century have led to an increased interest in similarly dramatic population changes in the preceding century. The contributors to this volume - legal scholars, sociologists, political scientist and historians - focus on migration control in the 19th century, concentrating on three areas in particular: the impact of the French Revolution on the development of modern citizenship laws and on the development of new forms of migration control in France and elsewhere; the theory and practice of migration control in various European states is examined, focusing on the control of paupers, emigrants and "ordinary" travelers as well as on the interrelationship between the different administrative levels - local, regional and national - at which migration control was exercised. Finally, on the development of migration control in two countries of immigration: the United States and France. Taken altogether, these essays demonstrate conclusively that the image of the 19th century as a liberal era during which migration was unaffected by state intervention is untenable and in serious need of revision.

Reconsidering a Lost Intellectual Project
This book explores an aspect of the complex cultural history of 20th-century exile: the influences of transnational experiences on the views of emigrants and exiles concerning their own academic, scientific and intellectual cultures. These essays focus on the reflections of people who left their countries during the period of 1933–1945. Many of them reconsidered their own past in the old country and compared it with their actual experiences in the adopted homeland. The individual cases presented here share a similar theoretical framework. The book is divided into two sections: the first one focuses on the German and Spanish lost project, and the second one deals with the East European proj...
For the Many
A history of the twentieth-century feminists who fought for the rights of women, workers, and the poor, both in the United States and abroad For the Many presents an inspiring look at how US women and their global allies pushed the nation and the world toward justice and greater equality for all. Reclaiming social democracy as one of the central threads of American feminism, Dorothy Sue Cobble offers a bold rewriting of twentieth-century feminist history and documents how forces, peoples, and ideas worldwide shaped American politics. Cobble follows egalitarian women’s activism from the explosion of democracy movements before World War I to the establishment of the New Deal, through the uph...
