Title "A man with his life at both ends of time" : Leah Goldberg, Paul Ernst Kahle, and appreciating the mundane.
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 37,1 (2009) 137-178
Description Discusses the life and work of Kahle (1875-1965), including his experiences during the Nazi regime in Germany in the 1930s, based partly on information provided by Israeli poet Leah Goldberg, one of his doctoral students, who immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1935. Kahle, a Protestant minister and scholar, who became director of the Oriental Institute in Bonn in 1923, focused on studies of Jewish Masoretic texts. After the Nazi rise to power, he tried to help Jewish colleagues. He was forced to retire in 1939 because his wife, Mary, and one of their sons had helped Jews following the "Kristallnacht" pogrom. The family began to receive threats, and fled to London in 1939. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
