Writings about Maxwell Kaufman

-1946-
April 18, 1946—"J.W. B. Activities," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 11: The topic "The Well Adjusted Jew," drew lively comment from the group of servicemen at the Sunday morning discussion hour. Chaplain Samuel Sobel and Maxwell Kaufman, director of the local USO-Jewish Welfare Board, lead the discussion. The opinion of many was that the effort toward adjustment should be made without the loss of identification with Judaism and its culture...

July 11, 1946—(no headline, separate), Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Kaufman of Coronado are hosts to Miss Margaret Kantor of New York, who is passing through San Diego from Mexico. She will spend a week here, then go on to San Francisco, before completing a month's vacation in the West.

November 7, 1946—"Happy Old Timers," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 6: The monthly birthday luncheon held by the Happy Old Timers on Wednesday, October 30th, at the Home, 2750 Fourth avenue, was one of the largest affairs this group has given. More than 70 guests came to help celebrate the birthdays of the guests of the Home as well as to do honor to Mrs. Fried's mother, Mrs. Katie Oliner of Salt Lake City. Mrs. Fried sponsored this luncheon in honor of her Mother's 88th birthday. Much thanks is due Mrs. Elizabeth Learner for cooking such a superb luncheon and to Mrs. Mary Greenberg and Mrs. Rosaliee Sonnabaum and their helpers for the serving. Rabbi Morton J. Cohn as guest speaker, praised San Diego Jewry for seeing the need for a Home for the Aged and congratulated the committee for having this type of affair each month for the guests of the home. Mr. Maxwell Kaufman spoke briefly on future plans for a Jewish Old Age Center and for seeing the need for larger quarters and thanked the community for providing such quarters for people in the Autumn of their Lives.

December 12, 1946—"Maxwell Kaufman To Be Honored At Dinner," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: The Army-Navy Committee of the Jewish Welfare Board will honor Mr. Maxwell Kaufman with a dinner on December 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the Gold Room of the U.S. Grant Hotel. Mr. Kaufman, who came to San Diego in 1942 as director of the 635 C Street—U.S.O. has resigned his position with the Jewish Welfare Board, and is being tendered this compliment in appreciation of the excellent performance of his duties, as well as his unstinted efforts in behalf of all communal affairs during the four years he has been in San Diego. Through Mr. Kaufman will not be affiliated with the Jewish Welfare Board after the first of the year, his plans are as yet indefinite, and it is the expressed hope of the many friends that both he and Mrs. Kaufman have made in this city, that he will accept one of the several offers that have been made him here so that they might continue to be with us. The principal speaker for the evening will be Dr. A.P. Nasatir, while Mr. Louis Steinmann will act as Master of Ceremonies. A musical program is also being planned. Mrs. Rose Neuman, chairman of the J.W.B. Army-Navy Committee, and chairman in charge of arrangements for this affair, joins with the committee in inviting all persons who would like to participate in this celebration to attend. As accommodations are limited at this time, reservations will have to be made at once by calling Mrs. Lewis Solomon, Main 3022.

-1947-
January 9, 1947—"Kaufmans Feted on Departure," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Kaufman, who with their son, Paul, are leaving San Diego Friday morning for New York City as the first stop on their way to Europe, have been the guests of honor at many gala parties this past week. Among those entertaining for the Kaufmans were Mr. and Mrs. Louis Steinmann, who gave a dinner last Ssunday evening in their home in Point Loma; Mr. and Mrs. R.S. Gordon with a dinner at their home; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Neuman were hosts at a dinner at Valle's; Mrs. Martha Hollander entertained at the San Diego Club; and the Coronado Community Council were hosts at dinner for 30 at La Avenida Cafe. Mr. Kaufman, who was the executive director of the JWB-USO here, until he resigned January 1, 1947, has taken a position with the Joint Distribution Committee. The Kaufmans will be in New York at the Embassy Hotel for about a month, arranging passports and getting necessary inoculations. Their first stop in Europe will be Paris, where they will await assignment to either Austria or Germany.

-1949-
September 1949—Community New Year's (Rosh Hashanah) Greetings, Southwestern Jewish Press, page 5: "Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Kaufman and Son, Paul Extend New Year Greetings To Their Many Friends...And Are Glad To Be Back." ... "Kaufmans Return From Two Year European JDC Work," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 14: Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Kaufman and son, Paul, have returned to San Diego after spending two years in Europe with the Joint Distribution Committee. Before leaving San Diego in 1947, Mr. Kaufman was head of the Jewish Welfare Board in San Diego and was very active in communal activities here. While in Europe working with D.Ps in the various camps of Germany and Australia (sic, Austria), he was the area director of Wurtten-Baden, a province of Germany, in charge of 15 Displaced Persons Camps and four German Jewish "Gemiende." He was also in charge of a children's nutrition center near Stuttgart. While Mr. Kaufman was traveling throughout Europe in his various duties, Mrs. Kaufman spent several months working for the J.D.C. headquarters in Paris, France, while their son, Paul, was in school in Switzerland. As soon as the Kaufmans are able to find suitable accommodations they will settle permanently in San Diego where Mac will enter the insurance business as a representative of the Aetna Life. (Any help in getting located would be appreciated-Ed). Those who heard Mr. Kaufman on the radio, at various meetings, on television, or who read his articles in the local daily newspapers, will be happy to hear that he will write a column in the Jewish Press starting in the October number telling of his first-hand experiences on the European scene.

October 1949—"Kaufman Appointed New Managing Editor of The Jewish Press," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: It is with a great del of pleasure that we announce the appointment of Maxwell Kaufman as the new managing editor of the Southwestern Jewish Press, effective with this issue. Mr. Kaufman, whose background in social work, brings to the Jewish community newspaper a wealth of experience for the position. For the past two and a half years, Mr. Kaufman was in charge of D.P. work for the Joint Distribution Committee in Germany and Austria. Before taking this post, Kaufman was associated with the Jewish Welfare Board as director for the San Diego area and managed the larged U.S.O. in this area during the war. He will be able to bring us authoritative analysis of the world Jewish scene. We feel sure that Mr. Kaufman will be an asset to this newspaper and will be a driving force in organizational work from a community relations standpoint. Mrs. Kaufman deserves the support of our readers and we hope that the community will utilize his services for our mutual benefit.

November 14, 1949—1) "Take It Away," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: With this issue Maxwell and Julia Kaufman are taking over the ownership and management of the Southwestern Jewish Press. Since February 1940, we have published the paper, ever endeavoring to raise it's reading quality and standards as well as cement public relations. It is with a great deal of pride and pleasure that we turn the management of the Press over to the Kaufmans. With their past experience and keen ability to feel the pulse of communal activities, we retire with a clear and with deep confidence that the community will be well served. We wish to thank our many friends who have supported the Jewish Press during our regime. —Lou and Ray Solomon.

2) Max Gendelman and Myron Shelley, "Town and Campus," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 7: Mazeltov! Our heartiest congratulations and best wishes go to Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Kaufman, who have just purchased the Southwestern Jewish Press. Good luck, Boss.

December 2, 1949—"Tifereth Israel Men's Club," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 5: The next meeting of the Tifereth Israel Men's Club, which weill be held Tuesday evening, december 6th in the Synagogue at 8:00 p.m. will be in the form of a social meeting for members and their wives. The highlight of the evening will be a talk by Mr. Maxwell Kaufman, publisher of the Southwestern Jewish Press. Mr. Kaufman, who recently returned from a two and a half years stay in Europe, where he was an area director for the Joint Distribution Committee, working with Displaced Persons, will speak on some of his European experiences. A question and answer period will follow...

December 16, 1949—1) Lou Mogy, "Sports Around Town," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 23: This being the 35th anniversary of the Southwestern Jewish Press, I want to wish Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Kaufman continued success in their newspaper. I know these lovely people will do everything in their power to make this paper one of utmost importance to our community...

2) "Tifereth Israel Men's Club," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 26: The second semi-annual social function of the Tifereth Israel Men's Club which was held on Tuesday, December 6th at the Synagogue, was attended by approximately 150 people including members' wives. The highlight of the evening was an informal talk by Mr. Maxwell Kaufman, publisher of the Southwestern Jewish Press who held the audience spellbound with stories of his experiences as Area Director for the Joint Distribution Committee while working in DP and Refugee camps in Austria and Germany...

-1950-
January 13, 1950—"Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 8: Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood, members and their guests, will be treated to a stimulating program this coming Wednesday, January 18th Mrs. Sam Friedman, program chairman, has arranged for Mr. Maxwell Kaufman, publisher of the Jewish Press, to speak at the regular monthly meeting of the Sisterhood. Mr. Kaufman will share with his audience knowledge gained by working with the American Joint Distribution Committee in Europe during the post war years. Having been director of displaced persons camps, Mr. Kaufman is well qualified to bring first-hand information of interest to San Diego Jewry. Mr. Kaufman titles his talk, "Light and Dark Impressions of My Experiences in Europe."

January 27, 1950—1) "Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 3: ... The January 18th meeting of the Temple Sisterhood was a complete success. Nearly 200 women enjoyed the delicious spaghetti luncheon and all the trimmings prepared under the supervision of Mrs. Marvin Gray and Mrs. Rodin Horrow, hostesses for the day...The audience was thrilled with Maxwell Kaufman's stirring talk on his experiences as a worker with the American Joint Distribution Committee in Europe. It was with some surprise that the women present heard of the re-nazification program in Germany instead of the hoped for denazification program. Mr. Kaufman stated that, "The Germans are not ashamed for what they did—but felt that Hitler meant well, only that he made too many mistakes. It was shocking to hear Mr. Kaufman tell that, "The German people still remember Adolph Hitler kindly." Relating the horrors of the Dachau Camp, where the doing away with people was accomplished with such complete efficiency, Mac Kaufman said, "the gas chambers—and ovens—were a monument to German 'culture.'" Concluding his talk, Mac made the observation that "the world must never forget—The United States must remember."

2) "Personals," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: After the Hadassah picture, Saturday night, January 21s, it was "Surprise! Surprise!" for Mac and Julia Kaufman when a group of their friends held a "So glad you're home" party. The Kaufmans were greeted in their home at 1505 Cypress Ave., where twenty friends had gathered with all the essentials for a gala evening. When they left there was an additional chair in the Kaufman home, an outstanding part of the surprise.

Mr. Maxwell Kaufman, publisher of the Jewish Press, will speak on his experiences in Europe where he served for three years with the American Joint Distribution Committee working with D.P.s.

February 24, 1950—1) "Allocations Committee Sets New Pattern," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: In an all day session of the 1950 Allocations Committee, held last Sunday at the El cortez Hotel, a new precedent in dispursing (sic, disbursing) monies to be raised was set for the san Diego Jwish Community. For the first time, budgeting has been done prior to the campaign so that the contributor will know how the money would be distributed....Members of the Allocations Committee, besides Price, were....(a long list, including) Maxwell Kaufman...(for list see Victor Schulman of same date)

2) Max Gendelman & Myron Shelley, "Town and Campus," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 7: ... And now we say good-bye to all you wonderful people. It's been a lot of fun trying to keep up with all the social doin's and keep you all posted. To our successor we want to wish lots of luck, and hope that he, she or they enjoy writing this column as much as we have. We also want to thank Mr. and Mrs, Kaufman for being so nice, and for giving us this opportunity to give vent to our secret journalistic desires through the medium of the Jewish Press...

March 16, 1950—1) "Letters to the Editor," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 2: Mr. Maxwell Kaufman, Publisher, Southwestern Jewish Press, 333 Plaza, San Diego, Calif., Dear Mr. Kaufman: Please know how pleasant it was to have had the occasion to meet with you on my recent visit to San Diego.

April 28, 1950—1) Muriel Goldhammer, "Zionist Council," Southwestern Jewish Press, Letters to Editor, page 2: Mr. Maxwell Kaufman, Editor, Southwestern Jewish Press, Dear Mac: "You might like to title this letter, "The Lady Talks Back," since that is what I hope to do—to answer some of the questions you raised in your discussion of Zionist public relations at the Israeli Independence Celebration last Sunday night. The general tenor of your remarks, I recall, dealt witht he failure of the Zionist movement to conduct an effective public relations program among our Christian friends. Your remarks were borne out by Mary Fay's preceding remarks that she has been introduced to the factual story of Israel only recently. Your indictment of past failures is well taken. But it is not sufficient to indict the past. We must take stock of the present and map plans for the future. Whatever our failures in the past, we are rectifying the situation today. The very existence of the State of Israel has made the job easier in giving us the sense of dignity that enables us to talk to Christian friends and neighbors about Israel and Judaism as well, without apology, and without fear that our motives will be suspect. (I say that advisedly only too well aware that there are those in our Jewish community still frightened by the spectre of dual loyalty). But over and above our own personal relations with our neighbors is the organized public relations technique. With the reorganization of the American Zionist Council last September, the emphasis was placed on public relations first—primarily a public relations program directed toward the entire community rather than to the Jewish segment alone. All over the country, the response to the new approach has been outstanding... (she then goes on to describe Zionist programs locally)...

I do not have the time any more to devote to writing as I am doing quite a bit of traveling at the present time. Maxwell Kaufman has been most cooperative in publishing whatever I wrote. I wish to thank him. If you have enjoyed this column, I am deeply grateful. If I have unintentionally offended anyone, I am sincerely sorry. When time permits and if you readers are still interested and the publisher still wants me to continue, I shall consider it a privilege to reactivate this column. In the meantime...Thank you! This is all Folks—Lou Mogy. Editor's Note: We wish to take this opportunity to thank Lo Mogy for his cooperation in writing the column "Scene around Town."
