Born in Serijai (Lithuania – then Russia) , Robinson graduated from the law school of the University of Warsaw, served in the Russian army, and was for a time in German captivity. He returned to what became independent Lithuania, entered into Jewish public life, and pioneered in the building of a Hebrew school system. For three years, he was director of the Hebrew Gymnasium in Verbalis. In 1922 he was admitted to the bar and in the same year was elected to the Lithuanian parliament, holding office as chairman of the Jewish faction and leader of the minorities bloc until its dissolution in 1926. With the emergence of the Nazi threat to European Jewry, he organized a secret committee for the protection of Jewish rights and used his connections for admission of German Jews to Lithuania. He left Lithuania at the end of May 1940, and later reached New York, where, in 1941, he established the Institute of Jewish Affairs sponsored by the American and the World Jewish Congress. Robinson was the author of numerous books and articles on international law and organization, and Jewish affairs. He also served as consultant editor and adviser to the Holocaust Department of the Encyclopaedia Judaica” (Perlzweig in EJ 2007) . Light rubbing to coversers. Otherwise very good condition.
