World Jewish Congress Collection

Series B. Political Department/Department of International Affairs and United Nations, 1919–1977

Series Description

The Political Department series consists of 146 Hollinger boxes (58.4 linear feet) containing files of the Political Department of the WJC in New York City. Originally established in 1936 under Nahum Goldmann and Marc Jarblum in Paris, the Political Department was charged with the protection of the basic rights and freedoms of Jews in the political and diplomatic fields. Conditions resulting from the rise of Hitler, however, created for the Department the additional task of obtaining political relief for refugees. Following the move of the WJC's main office to New York in 1940, Maurice L. Perlzweig was named director of the Political Department. In 1947, Perlzweig became permanent representative from the WJC to the United Nations and Robert S. Marcus took over as political director. Following Marcus' death in 1951, Perlzweig resumed direction of the newly renamed Department of International Affairs and United Nations (New York Branch) and continued in that capacity until his retirement in 1974. The New York branch of the Department of International Affairs concentrated on the western hemisphere, while the London branch (directed by Alexander L. Easterman) covered the eastern hemisphere.

The Political Department represented the WJC with governments and international organizations such as the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and the Council of Europe. Departmental activities included intervening with individual governments, acquiring and maintaining a special status with the United Nations, appearing before international courts, and educating the public and governments on matters of Jewish interest. These activities are reflected in subjects dealt with in Series B., including anti-Semitism, human rights, migration, minorities, genocide, statelessness, prosecution of war crimes, relations between Christians and Jews, peace and disarmament, reparations, the situation of Jews in specific countries (notably the USSR and North Africa). Materials in this series include correspondence, reports, memos, publications, releases, mimeographed materials, and submissions. The span dates for the series are 1919–1977, but the bulk of the material is dated from the 1940s to 1960s.

Spanning the years 1919–1977, Series B. is divided into four sub-series:

Executive Files
Office Files
United Nations Files
World Jewish Congress Submissions to the United Nations and Other Agencies

Sub-series 1. Executive Files, 1919–1977, consists of 46 Hollinger boxes of executive office files of the Political Department. This sub-series contains papers of three persons: Maurice L. Perlzweig, Robert S. Marcus, and Oscar Karbach. The Perlzweig papers contain 35 boxes spanning the years 1919–1977 and contains extensive files on the activities of the Political Department during this time. Maurice L. Perlzweig's papers also include personal materials, especially from his career as a rabbi in London (ca. 1919–1940) and Toronto (1947–1949). The Robert S. Marcus papers, 1932–1933 and 1937–1951, are five boxes and include alphabetical files of special assistance cases for persons seeking assistance with immigration/visa problems during the years 1946–1948. The Oscar Karbach files cover the years 1942–1960 and consist of five boxes of correspondence and publications.

Sub-series 2. Office Files, 1933–1976, consists of 33 Hollinger boxes. A major component of this sub-series is correspondence with the WJC's British section and its Political Department director, Alexander L. Easterman. This sub-series also contains a large section of files on the American Jewish Congress, the bulk of which covers the years 1950–1960.

Sub-series 3. United Nations Files, 1937–1977, is the largest sub-series in Series B., consisting of 59 Hollinger boxes pertaining to the WJC's work and cooperation with the United Nations. Topics in this sub-series include genocide, human rights, missing persons, non-governmental organizations, and Post-War Planning. Noteworthy in this sub-series are files on numerous UN conferences, such as the United Nations Conference on International Organizations in 1945. The sub-series concludes with a large amount of material on the United Nations General Assembly and its various sessions, commissions and committees for the years 1945–1972, together with records pertaining to the United Nations Economic and Social Council for the same time period.

Sub-series 4. World Jewish Congress Submissions to the United Nations and Other Agencies, 1943–1969, consists of memoranda, applications and reports prepared by the WJC and submitted to the UN and other agencies. These submissions pertain to issues such as human rights, statelessness, refugees, etc. This sub-series consists of eight Hollinger boxes of material.
