Jaclyn's pioneering study places a new spotlight on the Great War as a tumultuous and devastating episode for European Jewry, but also one which served as a catalyst for the internationalisation of Jewish humanitarian causes and organisations. Perceptive, expansive and transnational in scope, this volume makes a truly significant contribution to modern Jewish history and to the history of the Great War.'

In response, American Jews developed a new model of humanitarian relief for their suffering brethren abroad, wandering into American foreign policy as they navigated a wartime political landscape. The effort continued into peacetime, touching every interwar Jewish community in these troubled regions through long-term refugee, child welfare, public health, and poverty alleviation projects. Against the backdrop of war, revolution, and reconstruction, this is the story of American Jews who went abroad in solidarity to rescue and rebuild Jewish lives in Jewish homelands. As they constructed a new form of humanitarianism and re-drew the map of modern philanthropy, they rebuilt the Jewish Diaspora itself in the image of the modern social welfare state.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Terms, Acronyms, and Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
