He <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">oversaw<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> the American mission as ambassador to Albania in the years 1930-1933, a time that <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">served him to carry out studies that would bring another lens on Albania to the American Department of State. He was born in Lithuania as a member of a Jewish family that emigrated to America around 1890. He first started working as a translator <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">of the<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> Russian<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> language<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> of <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">several<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> Russian authors for the newspapers of the time. Afterwards, he became the founder of the two most prominent newspapers of the Jewish community. The correspondent&#8217;s profession would immerse the young Bernstein in the culture and history of the many countries he would visit, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">mainly during<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> the First World War. He was a participant in the Peace Conference in Paris (1919) and his stay there would be fruitful, as it brought him closer to diplomacy in <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">a very short<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> time. Bernstein was a good researcher of various problems of Albanian history during his function as ambassador, <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">mainly investigating<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"> the history of religions and their mysticism in Albania. He passed away in the United States of America in 1935. <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml_lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">(Photo: Herman Bernstein)<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW187039570 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:-90,&quot;335559740&quot;:276,&quot;335572071&quot;:0,&quot;335572072&quot;:0,&quot;335572073&quot;:0,&quot;335572075&quot;:0,&quot;335572076&quot;:0,&quot;335572077&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:0,&quot;335572080&quot;:0,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;335572083&quot;:0,&quot;335572084&quot;:0,&quot;335572085&quot;:0,&quot;335572087&quot;:0,&quot;335572088&quot;:0,&quot;335572089&quot;:0,&quot;469789798&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789802&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789810&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789814&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW187039570 BCX0\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW187039570 BCX0\" data-ccp-border-bottom=\"0px none #000000\" data-ccp-padding-bottom=\"0px\" data-ccp-border-between=\"0px none #000000\" data-ccp-padding-between=\"0px\"><span class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW187039570 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml_lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"><strong>Text<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml_lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">Central State Archives<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW187039570 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:-90,&quot;335559740&quot;:276,&quot;335572071&quot;:0,&quot;335572072&quot;:0,&quot;335572073&quot;:0,&quot;335572075&quot;:0,&quot;335572076&quot;:0,&quot;335572077&quot;:0,&quot;335572079&quot;:0,&quot;335572080&quot;:0,&quot;335572081&quot;:0,&quot;335572083&quot;:0,&quot;335572084&quot;:0,&quot;335572085&quot;:0,&quot;335572087&quot;:0,&quot;335572088&quot;:0,&quot;335572089&quot;:0,&quot;469789798&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789802&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789806&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789810&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;,&quot;469789814&quot;:&quot;nil&quot;}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW187039570 BCX0\">\n<p class=\"Paragraph SCXW187039570 BCX0\" data-ccp-border-bottom=\"0px none #000000\" data-ccp-padding-bottom=\"0px\" data-ccp-border-between=\"0px none #000000\" data-ccp-padding-between=\"0px\"><span class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW187039570 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml_lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\"><strong>Photo<\/strong>: <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\" lang=\"EN\" xml_lang=\"EN\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187039570 BCX0\">&copy;
