To join the Israeli army, he lived in a Displaced Persons camp in Marseilles under an assumed name, then saw combat with the 79th Armored Battalion.
He was one of the youngest American volunteers that time and later served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War.
After obtaining his advanced degrees, Lowenstein reported for United Press International, El Paso Times, and CBS Morning News.
In 2011, Lowenstein received the Emma Lazarus Statue of Liberty Award for his project, the Machal and Aliyah Bet Archives, which documented the lives of American volunteers who died during the 1948 war.
