About this book
"A Race Against Death utilizes extensive firsthand interviews to present Peter Bergson's own account of his remarkable life.
Facing the threat of deportation and persistent opposition to his activities, Bergson employed every conceivable method to influence policy and public opinion: he personally hounded Congressmen to support rescue; placed controversial full-page ads in major newspapers demanding action; organized a march on Washington by 400 rabbis; and drew a record-setting crowd of 40,000 to a rally and memorial pageant at Madison Square Garden."--BOOK JACKET.
