Description of Well Worth Saving: American Universities� Life-and-Death Decisions on Refugees from Nazi Europe
Review 'Leff unsettles the prevailing narrative of American higher education as a refuge for European scholars fleeing the Holocaust in this harrowing, deeply researched account. . . .�Scholars of the Holocaust, immigration policy, and higher education will find Leff�s exhaustive account enlightening.'�Publishers Weekly ��This powerfully written, heartbreaking history exposes�the terrible price that nativism, antisemitism, narrow-mindedness, and bureaucratic inertia exacted on some of Europe's most learned women and men.'�Jonathan D. Sarna,�author of�American Judaism: A History�Leff asks us to grapple with a history that is more complicated and less triumphant than the version many of us think we know. The stories she tells of refugee scholars, their allies, and the obstacles they faced within American colleges and universities are important for us to understand.��Peter Salovey, President of Yale University�Scrupulously researched, beautifully crafted, and passionately felt, Laurel Leff�s book provides a balanced and sobering account of how the United States, and especially the American academic community, failed to respond aggressively to the plight of European Jewish scholars between 1933 and 1942.��Richard M. Freeland, author of Academia�s Golden Age�In this meticulously researched book, Laurel Leff recounts the dismal history of the many brilliant researchers who, unlike the Albert Einsteins and Hannah Arendts, were not rescued from the Nazis. Leff gives names, faces and biographies to these forgotten victims of the Nazi madness.�Her beautifully written book is an act of belated rescue.��David Biale, author of Gershom Scholem�Well Worth Saving is a disturbing book. While there were some heroes in the American academic scene during the 1930s and 1940s, there were many professors and university administrators who, despite knowing the consequences, turned their backs on European scholars who were desperately trying to escape from Europe. This book will leave many American academics shaking their heads in shame at the legacy of their institutions.��Deborah E. Lipstadt, author of Antisemitism Here and Now � Read more About the Author Laurel Leff is associate director of the Jewish Studies Program and associate professor of journalism at Northeastern University. She is the author of Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America�s Most Important Newspaper. Read more
