Guido Goldman
Guido Goldman (* 1938 in Switzerland ) is an American political scientist .
His father, Nachum Goldmann (1894–1982), was a co-founder of the World Jewish Congress , chairman of the Jewish Agency and president of the World Zionist Organization .
In 1940 Goldman fled to New York with his parents and younger brother. When he began his studies at Harvard in 1959, one of his teachers there was the future security advisor Zbigniew Brzeziński , and Henry Kissinger later supervised his doctoral thesis ( PhD 1969).
Goldman now heads the German Studies program at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES) at Harvard University , which he founded in 1969 and headed from 1979 to 1994. When the center ran out of money, when exactly? he turned to the then German Finance Minister Alex Möller . He agreed to provide 150 million German marks over 15 years for the 25th anniversary of the Marshall Plan for an institution that promotes relations between Europe and the USA; this is how the German Marshall Fund came into being in 1972 .
