A writer and editor for the Jerusalem Post , Rapoport (1942-91) portrays Hillel Kook, using the pseudonym Peter Bergson, as a heroic advocate for the US government to save European Jews during the Holocaust. He examines Kook's accusation that other western Jews did not join his campaign at the time because of timidity or devotion to a particular vision of Zionism. Annotation c.
