The Archive Thief: The Man Who Salvaged French Jewish History in the Wake of the Holocaust – A Book Talk with Professor Lisa Leff
Time: 6:30pmWhy did renowned Jewish historian Zosa Szajkowski steal tens of thousands of archival documents from France—and why did libraries in the U.S. and Israel accept them? In this gripping talk based on her award-winning book The Archive Thief, Prof. Lisa Leff uncovers the complex story of a scholar whose illicit actions helped preserve a vital Jewish past. Through Szajkowski’s life, Leff explores urgent questions of memory, ownership, and the legacy of Holocaust-era archives.
