Prof Julius STONE

Housing: 2 boxes Period: 1944-1983

Professor Stone, an internationally renowned jurist, legal philosopher and champion of human rights, was in the forefront of those speaking out for Zionism and Israel for more than forty years. His widow, Reca Stone, herself a trained dentist, typed the manuscripts of his books. She died in 2005. Included in this collection is a copy of Stone's Stand up and be Counted, his much-publicised debate on the establishment of a Jewish State in Palestine with the Australian Governor-General, Sir Isaac Isaacs, who represented the opinion that to establish a Jewish State was to be disloyal to the British. Consequent developments were to vindicate Professor Stone.

Papers: Palestinian resolution; zenith or nadir of the General Assembly. The controversy with Sir Isaac Isaacs from Hebrew Standard clippings over several years and correspondence and papers.
Two letters to the Washington Post , 1973.
Publications: Over 25 articles on Israel and the Middle East are included in this collection, which was partially established with the help of Stone's former secretary, Zina Sachs.
