Susan Mesinai
Susan Mesinai is a poet, author and researcher/activist into the fates of foreign prisoners who disappeared into the Soviet Gulag during World War II and the Cold War. Co-founder of the Ark Project (1992-2005), she was founding president of the Independent Investigation into Raoul Wallenberg’s Fate, an educational human rights organization that furthers groundbreaking research carried out in the former Soviet Union, independently (1992 – 2003) and under the aegis of an official Swedish-Russian working group (1991 – 2001).
== Early Life and Education ==
Mesinai was born September 25, 1942 in Detroit, Michigan to Manuel Bromberg, war artist for the European Theatre (1943–45) and Jane Dow Bromberg.〔They Drew Fire, Brian Lanker and Nicole Newnham, TV Books, May 1, 2000. “Snapshots of War,” The Guardian, Adam Levy, May 14, 2004.〕
Her father’s career as a painter, muralist, and professor of art and design placed her as a child in North Carolina, Europe and Woodstock, New York where she graduated salutatorian from Onteora Central School. During these years she had personal contact with Buckminster Fuller, James Shotwell, Eleanor Roosevelt and Gore Vidal who each influenced her direction in life.〔“Wheels Within Wheels: Dreams of Resurrection and Return,” Susan Mesinai, Parabola Magazine. Summer 2003.〕
Mesinai entered Barnard College in 1960, intent upon a diplomatic career. However, her correspondence with Nobel Prize-winning author Hermann Hesse led instead to her study of myth, philosophy and comparative religion. A student of the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr and his wife Ursula,〔Niebuhr papers, Manuscript Collection of the Library of Congress, Susan Mesinai file.〕 she graduated from General Studies of Columbia University magna cum laude in 1965. From 1983-85, she studied philosophy at Jewish Theological Seminary, where she continued the project that led to the 1994 publication of ''Shlomo’s Stories''.〔Ophir, Nathan. Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach: Life, Mission & Legacy. Urim Publications, January 5, 2014.〕 In 2004 Mesinai was designated, on an honor roll of 250 alumni spanning a 250-anniversary period, as Number 199 of Columbia University’s “greatest graduates.” Her selection was in response to her research into the Raoul Wallenberg case and her continued concern for the rights for the Disappeared.
