When Nazi-Killing Simulators Finally Discovered Jews

Joshua Lambert is the Sophia Moses Robison Professor of Jewish Studies and English at Wellesley College. As a researcher, he seeks out areas in which Jews and Jewishness played important and understudied roles in the development of U.S. culture, with the aim of helping specialists in Jewish Studies and American Studies, as well as a broader reading audience, understand 19th-, 20th- and 21st-century cultural history in more complex and rigorous ways.
