Deborah Dash Moore, PhD is the Frederick G. L. Huetwell Professor of History and Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan and the editor-in-chief of The Posen Library.

The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization is a comprehensive, ongoing project to build an unprecedented collection of Jewish writings, political thought, religion, visual and performing arts, music, and cultural contributions from around the globe. The Posen library is curated by leading Jewish Scholars. Once complete, the entire collection will be comprised of 10 print volumes (released by Yale University Press) covering biblical times to the 21st century and is available online FREE at the Posen Digital Library – www.posenlibrary.com. Currently five volumes are available in print and online covering the biblical times to 332 BCE, 1750 – 1880 and 1918 – 2005 (Volumes 1, 6, 8, 9 & 10).
Some topics Dr. Moore can discuss include:
Posen Library Events and teaching clips on the Holocaust highlighting: Resistance using written words, weapons and religion defiance & Anthologies Of Despair, Resistance, And Hope: Jewish Writing In The 1940s & Poets Of The Ghettos
Art and writings by Holocaust survivors since the end of World War II.
Political thought and writings of Jews before, during and after World War II.
Jewish perceptions of the momentous events of the mid-twentieth century and how Jews around the world redefined themselves in the face of tragedy, displacement, and dispersion.
The birth of the State of Israel.

Unlike an encyclopedia, The Posen Library puts readers directly in touch with original works, unmediated by interpretation. Curated by leading scholars, the selections are sacred and secular texts, translated from an extensive array of languages.
