Biography

René Mayer is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Prime Minister of France (1953) and a founding architect of the European Coal and Steel Community, which he later presided.

How & why

René Mayer was France's third prime minister of Jewish descent, after Alexandre Millerand and Léon Blum, heading the government in 1953. A veteran of both wars and of de Gaulle's Free French administration in Algiers, he was above all a builder of Europe: finance minister of the Fourth Republic, then president of the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community — the institution from which the European Union grew — where he succeeded Jean Monnet.
