The Making of a Historian of East European Jewry and the Holocaust
Hosted By: YIVO
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a talk exploring the influence of YIVO on Lucy S. Dawidowicz (1915–1990), a major postwar American Jewish historian and public intellectual. Dawidowicz’s experiences in prewar Vilna, her work with YIVO historians in New York, and her postwar efforts with Jewish DPs and cultural recovery shaped her pivotal role in forming American Holocaust consciousness. Her books “The Golden Tradition” and “The War Against the Jews” cemented her status as a key voice on Eastern European Jewry, the Holocaust, and antisemitism.
