During World War II, he was an infantry officer – among the first Americans to rescue Jews in Nazi Germany. Dr. Weisman’s service to JWV encompassed a broad range of policy issues relating to demographic studies, surveys, JWV policy positions as to the State of Israel, Soviet Jewry, combating anti-Semitism, the civil rights revolution and a wide gamut of priority items on the Jewish community agenda. He was the National Historian and was instrumental in the establishment of the Shrine (National Memorial that now is the National Museum of American Jewish Military [History]). The list of national and international organizations in whose creation he served on behalf of JWV and to which he made notable contributions signifies his total commitment to Jewish communal service.

He was also a prime mover to form the organization of Soviet Jewry.
