Lisa Moses Leff


Genre


Lisa Leff is a historian of Europe whose research focuses on Jews in France since 1789. Her first book, Sacred Bonds of Solidarity (Stanford UP, 2006), examines the rise of Jewish international aid in 19th century France. Her most recent book, The Book Thief (Oxford University Press) tells the story of Zosa Szajkowski, who moved tens of thousands of documents from France to the U.S. during his time as a soldier in WWII. It examines a larger set of questions about Jewish nationalism, Jewish archives, and Jewish history writing in the era of the Holocaust and its aftermath. She received her BA from Oberlin College and her PhD from the University of Chicago.

Dr. Leff's work has been funded by the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation.
