Marver Bernstein Estate

The Library Associates and the Georgetown community mourn the loss of two respected friends. Georgetown University Professor of Philosophy and Government Marver Bernstein and his wife Sheva were killed last March in a tragic hotel fire in Cairo. The library has received from his estate a generous gift of 2,700 volumes and 1,000 unbound journals and government documents. The books represent a scholarly library of works on Israel and the Middle East, political science, government, economics, urban studies, history and biography, many of them now out of print. The Middle East collection contains most of the significant scholarly works in the field published in the English language during the past thirty years.
