Saul Friedlander, 1939 Club Chair in Holocaust Studies,
UCLA completed his acclaimed personal memoir When Memory
Comes in 1979. Since coming to UCLA, he has founded
the influential scholarly journal History and Memory
and has written History, Memory and the Extermination
of the Jews (1993), Reflections of Nazism (1984) and
Nazi Germany and the Jews, Volume 1: The Years of Persecution,
1933-1939 (1997). The latter is considered the definitive
history of the period and was instrumental in his receiving
a 1999 MacArthur Foundation Award, one of the nation's
most prestigious creative and intellectual awards.
The second volume of Saul Friedlander's monumental
book, Nazi Germany and the Jews, which is entitled
The Years of Extermination, 1939-1945 will be published
by HarperCollins in April 2007. Courtesy of The Book
Den, copies of his books will be available for purchase
