In 1940s New
York, newly-immigrated scholars sought to build a museum to memorialize
the Jewish cultures of Eastern Europe destroyed during the Holocaust. Jeffrey
Shandler, Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers
University, tells their powerful, little-known story.
Shandler is
the author, editor, or translator of seventeen books. His essays have
appeared in French, German, Polish, Yiddish, and six other languages.
He served as president of the Association for Jewish Studies and is a
fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research.
