Bernard Baruch was an American financier and statesman.
Bernard Baruch was an American financier and statesman. In the late summer of 1939, he collaborated with Lewis L. Strauss on a proposal to convince the British government to cede a large tract of colonial Africa for resettlement by European refugees, both Jewish and non-Jewish. They believed that as much as $300 million could be raised for this purpose, but it was ultimately too late to prevent the impending Nazi blitzkrieg.1
