Under the alias Peter Bergson, he leads a small group of activists in seeking to rescue Jews threatened with destruction in Europe

Undaunted, Bergson and his colleagues organize a bold campaign to open the doors of the United States to Jews fleeing Hitler in a desperate race against time
Based on actual events, The Accomplices is the true story of one man's fight on American soil to shatter a conspiracy of silence and inaction in the face of genocide
"A story that needs to be told, and Weinraub - a longtime New York Times reporter - does so with moving clarity. A substantial, punch-packing morality thriller" ~ Time Out
"Provocative, intelligent and compelling. The Accomplices will give you plenty to talk about" ~ NY Daily News
