Bernard Baruch

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
