1. As Smith notes (380), thanks to a bequest by Miron Blumental, Blumental's son, to YIVO in 2019 of some 200,000 German and Jewish documents collected and generated by Blumental, his name has become better known.

3. David Engel argues that Western historians of Jewish history have avoided engagement with the Holocaust under the influence of Salo Baron's promotion of an antilachrymose conception of Jewish history—at the risk of rendering their work irrelevant to a lay readership.

As Smith observes (64n6), “Inclusion of the Yiddish historians in his [Engel's] narrative would not have undermined, but rather validated, his thesis.”

Dawidowicz knew the writings of Mark and his colleagues at the ŻIH. Although she viewed their work with ambivalence, she found things to like in their publications after 1956.
