Through the use of other novels, he agrees and agrees to form his own opinion. This essay will explore who Dawidowicz is, why he wrote the book, what the book is about, what other authors have explored with the same topic, and how I feel about the topic he wrote about. All in all, a lot of research will be presented in the essay. In the end you will see how strongly I feel about the topic I chose. I believe that although Hitler terrorized the Jews, they continued to be stronger than ever and tried to keep their society going. Lucy Dawidowicz, the author of "The War on the Jews 1933-1945" grew up in New York. She was born in 1915. Lucy began her college education at Hunter College, where she studied English. After completing his university studies with excellent results, he began attending Columbia University to finish his master's degree in English Literature. While studying intensely, he interrupted his studies to “work and study Jewish culture at Yivo, the legendary research institute in Vilna, Poland.” (Lucy Dawidowicz, The War Against The Jews 1933-1945 (New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1986), Front Cover.) He studied here for a rewarding year and then returned to New York to study more with the Yivo. After the end of the debilitating Second World War, he went to Europe where he helped the Jewish people “recreate schools and libraries and recovered vast collections of books2 seized by the Nazis.” (Richard Berstein, “Lucy S.
