  4. E-mail message, Ethan Scherer to RCJ, 1 May 2021, Dear Eric, Robert, and Nancy -

    I had written this already, but due to some internal strife among my siblings, I had held off until now. However, Eric's call this AM prompted me to send this out now. I apologize

    I am sad to report that on Wednesday night my dad passed away. I could tell over the phone in January that things were getting worse. We successfully convinced him to move into our house last month, but his health took another steep change about a week into his time here and he needed to be hospitalized shortly thereafter. In life, my dad had strong conviction on the moral and right path and fought with every inch of his being for these causes. The end was not dissimilar where he fought tooth and nail for what he believed. In the closing days and hours, I was able to feed him ice chips on demand and briefly hold him when he became unsettled. Jonathan, Susannah, Jill, and I were able to say good-bye before he passed.

    While I felt it was too early for him to die, my dad lived a full life. He was married to my mother for over 50 years, watched all his children grow-up and become successful human beings, and met his three grandchildren. My dad loved science from a young age. He won the New Jersey state science fair and went on to the national competition. He did extensive primary research using historical documents in the Princeton library on the Lenape tribe of New Jersey. He helped work on building technology in the 60s to get rockets into space and later in submarines to keep our country safe. He passed that love for science onto his children and grandchildren. I have fond memories of exploring the stars with him and debating how much we can rely upon mathematics and logic in the context of Kurt Godel incompleteness theorems. Beyond science my dad had a cutting sense of humor. He loved play on words and “bad” puns. It was always funny listening to Monty Python sketches or watching reruns of “Are You Being Served?” with him.

    His decline was so rapid and surprising, and I was deeply saddened by his passing, but also knew he would want me to push forward. My dad wished to be cremated so we have a little time before we need to plan a formal ceremony. I will keep you posted, but we’re thinking that we’ll do something related to the sea since he always admired the Vikings’ sailing skill as well as their burial traditions.

    Love,

    Ethan

NoteDuring the Alger Hiss affair, Whittaker Chambers had accused Maxim of being a communist and Soviet agent. That is why the Liebers left the country for Mexico in 1951; in 1954 they moved to Warsaw where they remained until 1968, when they came back to the United States. The family knows that Chambers’ allegations were true. Maxim was the closest cousin to my father in age. I do not know what their relationship was, but my father visited Maxim and his family in Mexico just before they left for Warsaw. The Liebers returned to the United States in 1968.40

2023Biography

In May of 2023 Harry Lieber wrote:

"My father never ever spoke about his political/espionage activities, so what little I know is from what my mother told me, once my father passed away and she retired, which meant she no longer had to worry about some kind of backlash. American politics can be awfully nasty, something obvious to anyone living in the States right now.

When, years ago, someone drew my attention to the Wikipedia page about my father, I was surprised to see Trotsky listed as one of his clients. It never made sense to me. My father was a Stalinist. My one recollection of him crying is when the news of the Khrushchev's speech at the XX Congress of the Soviet CP broke. We had barely arrived in Poland two years earlier, and suddenly the very foundation on which he built his political weltanschauung had collapsed.

There is another reason why I am doubtful about a connection between Trotsky and my father. After my father's death, when my mother was planning to move to my sisters home, I asked her if I could have some of my father's books, among them a book on Diego Rivera. That triggered a recollection in my mother. She told me about how, during our years in Mexico, as a four-year old, I wandered into Rivera's home, and was found by him looking at his paintings leaning against the wall. When Rivera asked me if I liked them, apparently I nonchalantly replied that I don't like them. The reason my mother knew this story is because a few days later, David Siqueiros brought Rivera and Kahlo to our home, in order to introduce them to my father. Upon seeing me, Rivera laughed, and related the story to my parents. Evidently he thought it was a hoot. My mother described Siqueiros as a close friend of my father. Considering Siqueiros' involvement with the first assassination attempt on Trotsky, I find it hard to reconcile the possibility of my father having been Trotsky's literary agent with him having Siqueiros as a "close friend."

I'm thinking out loud right now. My father was in the publishing business since 1922, when he and Jack Lewis (I think it was Jack) established Lieber & Lewis. After being bought out by Boni, he ended up working for Brentano's. It was after that company's bankruptcy, that my father went into business for himself as an agent. By that time, Trotsky was expelled not only from the politburo; he was sent into exile. I just looked up the Wikipedia page on my father, and, according to it, his involvement with Brentano's started in 1925, a year after Trotsky was expelled from the politburo. My father's tenure with Brentano's lasted till 1930, a year after Trotsky was sent into exile. I'm filled with doubt about the Trotsky connection.

On the other hand, my father had Deutscher's three-volume biography of Trotsky. Those three volumes would have come out after we arrived in Poland, in December of 1954. Nothing would have passed unnoticed by the Polish security services, especially a three-volume biography of Trotsky. But, he had them, and I inherited them, and he definitely read every page of them.

I wish I could offer more than mere speculations. My father was 51 years older than I, and, while we both shared a choleric disposition, our politics differed. My formative years were spent in communist Poland (1954-1968), and as a child I learned Polish almost instantly, which meant I had a much better understanding of what life was like in workers' paradise than my father. His family left Warsaw in 1907, at a time when the eastern and central part of what today is Poland was part of the Russian Empire, so his Polish was pretty poor. In any event, my father's explosive personality, and his disinterest in children meant that we had a rotten relationship, one that remained rotten to the end, which meant we did not talk much, even as adults. Which makes me a poor informant.

I am curious about your book about Hiss. Are you in touch with David Chambers? If my recollection serves me correctly, he was writing, or planning to write a book on Hiss. I don't know if he succeeded. We exchanged a few emails over the years, after he tracked me down. My impression was that he already had an agenda, namely that Hiss was innocent. Again, according to my mother, he was guilty.

There is one area where our interests might overlap. Obviously, the GRU archives would have the fullest information on my father, and hence, on Hiss. But the Poles must have had some information on him too, even if the Russians did not share everything with them. Recall, Stalin remarked that communism fits Poland the way a saddle fits a cow.

However, I know my father would pay regular visits to someone who worked out of the Central Committee building. Any meetings would have resulted in some kind of report being written. Also, it is likely that some of the people with whom we were acquainted at the time would have reported the gist of conversations with my parents. After all, were were foreigners. I'm curious about what both the Polish communist party, and the Polish military intelligence knew about my father's activities prior to his flight from the US in 1951. I'm also curious about those regular "friendly chats" with a Central Committee bureaucrat. All that stuff must be in Polish archives, whether they are in the archives of the now defunct communist party or the archives of the Polish military intelligence.”.42

Since the Munich conference was in late September of 1938, and the invasion of the rest of the country took place in March 1939, they must have been married at that time.
