summary

Born in Antwerp, Ferdinand Myron Isserman (1898-1972) immigrated with his family to the United States in 1906. He was ordained by Hebrew Union College and served the rabbinate in St. Louis for many decades. He participated in many civic and Jewish causes and visited Nazi Germany three times (1933, 1935 and 1937) - the first visit of which prompted the present document, in which he states “there is no hope for the Jews of Germany - the government aim is their human extirpation” (p. 3).
