Stern tried from America to create a path out for his parents and siblings, but the war and immigration barriers closed that possibility. His family was deported into the Warsaw ghetto and murdered in the Holocaust. Their loss remained central to his understanding of his wartime service and his later work as an educator and witness.

He became a leading scholar of exile literature and served at Wayne State University, where he was a professor and later Distinguished Professor Emeritus.

Stern published his memoir, ''Invisible Ink'', in 2020. His many honors included the French Legion of Honour as well as American, German, and academic distinctions recognizing his military service and scholarship. He died on December 7, 2023.
