| Summary: | The name Jean Ancel is synonymous with the study of the Holocaust in Romania. A Romanian-born Israeli independent historian and research associate of Yad Vashem's International Institute for Holocaust Research, Ancel dedicated his professional life to the dimension and details of the Holocaust in Romania and territory Romania occupied during World War II, requiring, as Yoav Gelber's introduction notes, “an immense psychological investment.” Those of us fortunate enough to have known Ancel were awed by his encyclopedic knowledge; readers of this volume will admire his ability to weave myriad details into a striking tapestry. |
