YU Hosts Book Launch of ‘The Rabbi of Buchenwald’ By Pearl Markovitz | May 06, 2021 Praising the new publication of “The Rabbi of Buchenwald: The Life and Times of Rabbi Herschel Schacter,” Yeshiva University President Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman described the new volume as not only a history of American Jewry during the last seven decades of the 20th century, but a book of inspiration for future generations.” The work was published with the support of the Michael Scharf Publication Trust of the Yeshiva University Press and the Emil and Jenny Fish Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Yeshiva University.
