- DIED. Lucy S. Dawidowicz, 75, chronicler and scholar of
- Jewish life and history; in New York City. Born and educated in
- New York, Dawidowicz traveled to Poland in the late 1930s, where
- she observed the escalating horror of Euorpean anti-Semitism. She
- recorded these experiences in From That Place and Time, a memoir
- published last year. Her writings on the Holocaust, including The
- War Against the Jews, 1933-1945 and The Holocaust and the
- Historians, pitted her against such commentators as Hannah Arendt
- and Bruno Bettelheim, who argued that the Jews could have done
- more to save themselves from the Nazis.
