Title Bridging the divide : Holocaust versus Jewish history research - problems and challenges.
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 38,2 (2010) 155-193
Description Discusses the views and works of American Jewish historians in the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century, noting a gap between Jewish history research and Holocaust historiography. States that the Holocaust has not had the impact on Jewish historical research that some historians had expected. Focuses on the views of David Engel, who bemoans the fact that most scholars of European Jewish history have not integrated the Holocaust into their research
only a few have used the Holocaust to illuminate problems in the Jewish past. Discusses works of many Jewish historians, mainly in the U.S. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
