Gerard Daniel Cohen is the Samuel W. & Goldye Marian Spain Associate Professor of Modern European History and Jewish Studies at Rice University. He specializes in the history of forced displacement after 1945, humanitarianism, and philosemitism in European thought and politics since the Holocaust.

'G. Daniel Cohen shows that Europeans answered their 'Jewish Question' after the Holocaust in different versions of Philosemitism: an always revocable promise of national membership. With the majority of European populations opposing Israel's military campaigns while their governments largely support them, rarely has there been a more timely book. A must read.' A. Dirk Moses, author of The Problems of Genocide
