| Summary: | Jean Ancel's academic life was devoted to the study of the Holocaust in Romania. Born in the northern city of Iaşi in 1940, Ancel emigrated in 1959 to Israel, where he studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After graduating, he worked as an archivist for Yad Vashem—a job that gave him unfettered access to the institution's rich archival holdings. He drew meticulously and authoritatively upon these sources to produce a body of scholarship that provides a reference point for all historians of the Holocaust in Romania. It is therefore not surprising that one focus of Ancel's investigation should have been the pogrom in his native city. |
