Remembering Manfred Gerstenfeld

(Jerusalem Post) Gerald M. Steinberg - Manfred Gerstenfeld was a Jewish renaissance man and a prodigious writer who leaves a rich legacy in many different realms. Born in Vienna in 1937, he and his family were forced to flee, and survived the Holocaust by hiding in a small apartment in Amsterdam. At a young age, he wrote for the Dutch Jewish newspaper on the vanishing Jewish communities of Holland. After university, with degrees in chemistry and economics, he established a reputation as an expert on international business strategy in Europe. He moved to Israel in the wake of the 1967 war. Gerstenfeld became a leading expert on anti-Semitism, particularly its resurgence in Europe. He chaired the Steering Committee of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and founded its project on post-Holocaust studies and anti-Semitism, publishing scores of articles and 10 books. He also edited the Jewish Political Studies Review.
