Scope & Contents

Herman Rebhan became Director of the UAW International Affairs Department (IAD) when Victor G. Reuther retired in 1972.  Prior to his appointment by Walter Reuther as administrative assistant to the department in 1969, he served as coordinator of the International Metalworkers Federation in Geneva.

Additional files relating to the International Affairs Department  for the 1960s and 1970s can be found in the UAW President’s Office:  Leonard Woodcock Collection; UAW International Affairs Department:  Victor G. Reuther & Herman Rebhan Collection; UAW International Affairs Department:  Victor G. Reuther & Lewis Carliner Collection; Victor G. Reuther Collection; and UAW President’s Office:  Walter P. Reuther Collection.

The papers of the UAW International Affairs Department:  Herman Rebhan Collection consist of correspondence, speeches, reports, data, clippings, press releases, and publications relating to international politics and labor, and government and private agencies involved with these issues.  A number of files include material about international labor organizations and labor delegations abroad.  The papers, for the most part, reflect Rebhan’s work as director of the UAW IAD after 1972.  A few subject reference files predate his tenure with the department.
