Daniel Romanovsky

Daniel Romanovsky is an Israeli historian whose main area of interest is anti-semitism and the Holocaust. He was born in Leningrad, Russia to an "assimilated" Jewish family. After his marriage and the birth of his first child he became interested in Jewish history, especially of the Holocaust. Research on the topic was difficult in the Soviet Union because of government restrictions. He interviewed survivors and eyewitnesses in Belarus and recorded their stories. He made contact with other interested people and contributed to samizdat publications on the history of Soviet Jews. In 1988 he and his wife Elena moved to Israel. Since then he has contributed to many scholarly works on the topic.[1][2][3][4][5]
