COLLECTION DESCRIPTION
The Bernard Bernstein Papers document primarily his service as a U.S.
Army officer during and immediately after World War II, especially his
role in the military occupation of Germany. As director of the Finance
Division and the Division of Investigation of Cartels and External Assets
of the U.S. Group Control Commission for Germany, Colonel Bernstein was
involved in identifying the economic assets of Nazi Germany, in accumulating
evidence that was later used in the prosecution of Nazi war criminals
at Nuremberg, and in formulating policies to ensure that the products
of German industry would never again threaten the peace of Europe.
These subjects would continue to interest him for the rest of his life--an
interest reflected in his papers, which include an extensive amount of
printed material, reports, correspondence, and speech drafts pertaining
to Germany and the war. This collection also contains information about
Bernstein's career before World War II as an attorney in the Treasury
Department specializing in gold and international finance; his postwar
association with the American Jewish Conference and other Jewish organizations
seeking retribution and compensation for Nazi atrocities; unsubstantiated
allegations regarding the loyalty of Bernstein, his wife, and others during
the 1940s and 1950s; and Bernstein's other personal and professional activities.
The Bernstein Papers are divided into four series: a Nazi Gold File;
a Subject File; a Printed Materials File; and an Oversize File. The Nazi
Gold File contains correspondence, reports, newspaper clippings, and other
materials concerning Nazi Germany's gold and other financial assets. Much
of this material relates to the discovery by U.S. forces of a large cache
of Nazi treasure in the Kaiseroda salt mine at Merkers, Germany, in April
1945. Colonel Bernstein was responsible for safeguarding and preparing
an inventory of these valuables, which included gold, currency, works
of art, and loot taken from victims in Nazi concentration or extermination
camps. A significant amount of the material in this series comprises photocopies
of federal records from the holdings of the National Archives and Records
Administration; the provenance of these materials is identified in brackets
on the folder title list. The Nazi Gold File also includes documentation
of the financial aspects of the war, efforts to compensate the victims
of Nazi aggression, and the continuing interest among journalists and
historians in the wealth and plunder of the Third Reich. This series is
arranged alphabetically by subject.
The Subject File, which comprises over 80 percent of the collection,
contains printed material, correspondence, speech drafts, and other items
relating to Bernstein's career, and particularly to his service in World
War II and his subsequent involvement with issues arising from the war.
Bernstein's duties in the Mediterranean and European theaters included
responsibility for matters involving currency exchange, finance, and property
control in areas that were liberated or occupied by advancing Allied forces:
North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Western Europe as well as Germany and
Austria. Material relating to Bernstein's work in civil affairs and military
government in these areas is filed under such headings as "Allied Military
Government of Occupied Territory," "Germany," "Office of Military Government
for Germany (U.S.)," and "United States Group, Control Council." In 1944-45,
Bernstein was also involved in the development and advocacy of the Morgenthau
Plan, a proposal for the deindustrialization of postwar Germany which
was formulated by his friend and former superior in the Treasury Department,
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. Material in the Subject
File on the Morgenthau Plan is filed principally under "Germany" and under
Morgenthau's name.
In December, 1945, Colonel Bernstein testified before the Subcommittee
on War Mobilization of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. Under
the chairmanship of Senator Harley Kilgore of West Virginia, the subcommittee
was investigating Germany's war resources and their elimination under
Allied occupation. Bernstein's testimony particularly concerned the activities
of I.G. Farben, the huge German industrial cartel whose officials were
subsequently prosecuted at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. Material on
Bernstein's testimony and related investigations by Congress is filed
under "Congress of the United States" and "General Aniline and Film Company,"
as well as under Bernstein's name.
After leaving the Army, Bernstein served for a time as legal adviser
to the American Jewish Conference, and worked with similar organizations
in representing the interests of those who had been victimized by the
crimes of Nazi Germany. In this capacity, he attended the peace conference
in Paris in 1946, and helped prepare amendments to proposed peace treaties
with such Axis states as Rumania, Italy, and Bulgaria; the amendments
were aimed at ensuring that the Jewish populations of these countries
would receive reparations and guarantees of future security. Most of the
material relating to Bernstein's work in this field can be found under
"American Jewish Conference" or under the names of the individual countries.
As a prominent figure in the military government of Germany and an adviser
to Jewish organizations seeking indemnification, Bernstein was also in
demand as a speaker during the early postwar years. His speeches dealt
with the future of Germany, human rights, and other issues arising from
the war, and were delivered on radio programs as well as to B'nai B'rith
groups and other civic organizations. For the most part, Bernstein's speech
drafts and related material can be found in the Subject File under his
name, or under "Speech" or "Speeches."
The Subject File also contains material on Bernstein's prewar career
as an attorney in the Treasury Department, especially his involvement
in the "gold cases" of the 1930s, which tested the constitutionality of
New Deal measures affecting the monetary status of gold. Documentation
of his role in preparing the Roosevelt administration's response to these
legal challenges is filed under various folder titles beginning with the
word "Gold." A wide variety of material relating to various aspects of
Bernstein's life and career--before, during, and after World War II--can
be found under his name and that of his wife, Bernice Lotwin Bernstein
(who was herself an attorney and U.S. government official). Some of this
material pertains to allegations of disloyalty that were leveled against
Bernstein, and against other persons who had served with the U.S. Military
Government in Germany, by Rep. George Dondero of Michigan in 1947. (Bernstein
strongly denied these allegations, and Secretary of War Robert Patterson
attested to his loyalty and outstanding service record.) Mrs. Bernstein
was also subjected to a loyalty investigation as an employee of the Department
of Health, Education, and Welfare in the 1950s. One document filed under
her name is a lengthy biographical affidavit from her husband, which includes
a description of their relationship with Harry Dexter White, a senior
Treasury Department official who was suspected of espionage in behalf
of the Soviet Union. More information on the unsubstantiated loyalty charges
against the Bernsteins and others can be found under "Congress of the
United States," "DuBois, Josiah E., Jr.," "Personal," and elsewhere.
The Subject File contains a large quantity of U.S. government publications
and other printed material. A careful review of the accompanying folder
title list is recommended. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject.
The Printed Materials File includes published hearings before Senator
Kilgore's subcommittee investigating Germany's war resources, some books
in German regarding investigations of I. G. Farben and German banks conducted
by the Office of Military Government for Germany (U.S.), and other items
relating to the war. This material is arranged in alphabetical order by
title. The Oversize File contains large certificates from various courts
admitting Bernstein to practice before them, a book of U.S. Navy photographs
from World War II, and photocopies of oversize photographs transferred
to the Audiovisual Section, with a cross reference sheet.
Other holdings of the Truman Library that are relevant to this collection
include the transcript of an oral history interview with Bernstein (OHI
#188), conducted in 1975; material in the Harry S. Truman Papers (Official
File 198 Misc.) relating to Senator Kilgore's investigation of Nazi gold
and other assets; and documents in the John W. Snyder Papers (Secretary of
the Treasury Alphabetical File, "Sweden" and "Switzerland") concerning
assets in neutral countries. The Student Research Files on "United States
Policy in Occupied Germany After World War II," "The War Crimes Trials
at Nuremberg and Tokyo, 1945-48," and "President Truman's Confrontation
with McCarthyism," as well as manuscript collections pertaining to these
topics, contain more information about subjects documented in the Bernstein
Papers.
