The Archive Thief: The Man Who Salvaged French Jewish History in the Wake of the Holocaust - Oxford Series on History and Archives
Leff, Lisa Moses (Associate Professor of History, American University)
In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Jewish historian Zosa Szajkowski (Shy-KOV-ski) stole tens of thousands of documents from France and sold them to libraries in the United States. To understand why he did it, Leff takes us "backstage" at the archives and reveals the powerful ideological, economic, and scientific forces that made Holocaust-era Jewish scholars care more deeply than ever before about preserving the remnants of their past.
