Edith Simon Coliver was a postwar activist whose work in both governmental and nonprofit organizations took her between Europe, Asia, and the United States. Born in Karlsruhe, Coliver moved with her family from Germany to the United States in the late 1930s and went on to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1943, finding employment shortly after graduation as an intelligence analyst for the Office of War Information. Following World War II, Coliver dedicated herself to recovery efforts by serving as an interpreter and analyst in the Nuremberg trials, fundraising for Jewish refugees, and working with the Women’s Interfaith Dialogue for the Middle East. Coliver then continued her international advocacy through her involvement with the Committee for Free Asia, later The Asia Foundation, for which she travelled to the Philippines and Taiwan. In this interview, Coliver discusses her childhood in prewar Germany, wartime experiences in school and in the workforce, and her travels in Asia and Europe. Coliver was selected to be interviewed for making an outstanding contribution to UC Berkeley; this honor was made possible by a generous endowment from the class of 1931.
