Joseph escaped the fate of thousands of refugees held at border-camps along the German-Polish border in 1938 and joined hundreds of European refugee Jews ultimately saved from destruction between 1937 and 1941 by little known rescue plans in the East Asian Community of the Philippines. His rescue by Commonwealth officials President Manual Quezon and High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, and American Jewish businessmen and leaders in Manila, illuminates their heroic efforts in organizing selection and sponsorship programs that overcame limits imposed by the US and other countries during the refugee crisis and heroically saved as many souls as they could before war intervened. Even though it too was ill-fated by the Japanese invasion, Quezon's remarkable offer demonstrated what could be accomplished when nation's leaders were willing to put aside political agendas to act in the universally noble cause of saving human lives. By opening their doors to the refugees, the Filipinos also opened their hearts and gave them a new homeland. Joseph Cysner's personal story of refuge in the Philippines and the vibrant Jewish community that arose there weaves itself throughout the humanitarian efforts to aid the persecuted with a sanctuary in the Pacific. This book resurrects these important events from historical oblivion"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Cysner, Joseph, $d 1912-1961. 611 27 $a Jews rescue (1939-1945 : World War) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710189 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Jews $z Manila $z Manila $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Jewish refugees $z Manila $z Manila $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Jews $z Philippines. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue. $x Rescue. 650 7 $a Jewish refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730523 650 7 $a Jews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 651 7 $a Philippines. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205261 651 7 $a Philippines $z Manila. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205230 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a New perspectives in Southeast Asian studies 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505014303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49BF41488E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
