摘要:When Dr. Jacob Shatzky died on June 13, 1956, at the age of 61, many who knew him as a Judaic scholar, lecturer, editor, and writer were grieved, beyond their personal loss, by the thought that the fourth volume of his great work, History of the Jews in Warsaw, had remained unfinished. Many others, unaware of his distinction in the Yivo Institute for Jewish Research, deplored the untimely death of the Librarian of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. It was, however, not instantly apparent that a tradition which he had represented for a quarter of a century had come to a standstill.
