Abstract:
To understand the background of the American government's major intervention on behalf of world Jewry's restitution interests, Eizenstat analyzes the Jewish community's political status in the American public sphere, including its historic development and its modern characteristics. He then analyzes the American government's involvement with the most recent restitution settlements, beginning in the 1990s, with a focus on the Swiss bank settlements.
