championed reason, science, 
moderation, optimism and 
openness to foreign cultures. 
Stern also worked with, and 
wrote about, writers who had 
left or been driven out of the 
lands of their birth, and still 
wrote in its language. 
In Invisible Ink, Stern 
records highlights (and some 
less successful moments) from 
his personal life and from his 
illustrious career as a scholar, 
teacher, academic administra-
tor and promoter of culture. 
Stern helped found the North 
American Society for Exile 
Studies. As provost at Wayne 
State University, Stern was an 
early lecturer at the Society of 
Active Retirees, establishing 
outreach to a neglected pop-
ulation. 
At the Holocaust Memorial 
Center, Stern developed a pro-
gram to recognize Jewish res-
cuers (Yad Vashem Righteous 
Among the Nations programs 
do not include Jewish res-
cuers). He has periodically 
returned to Germany to teach 
seminars. 
Though Stern has triumphs 
in each role, one talent comes 
through this book as his real 
superpower. Guy Stern has an 
awe-inspiring ability to make 
friends. The book abounds 
with tales of Stern’
s adventures 
with famous, almost-famous 

and a mind-boggling number 
of totally obscure people — 
followed by stories of meeting 
them again, decades later, to 
learn more of their stories — 
and of his own. 
Just a few years ago, Feiga 
Weiss, archivist and librarian 
at the Holocaust Memorial 
Center, tracked down the files 
at YIVO (Institute for Jewish 
Research), on the Thousand 
Children, a hush-hush project 
in America to bring Jewish 
children from Europe before 
World War II — including the 
paperwork on the rescue of 
Gunther Stern.
