Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins tells the heroic story of Peter Bergson (born Hillel Kook) who understood before most Nazi Germany’s genocidal intentions and devoted great efforts to mobilize the United States, in particular, to save European Jewry. Written in a manner accessible to young people and also of great interest to adults, Elkins reminds us that Germany’s intentions were no secret, that American Jewry did not do enough to help, and that one man can make an extraordinary difference. Especially in light of the resigned cynicism that often meets claims of human rights violations today, the story of Peter Bergson is important to retell.
