Oxford Centre for Post-Graduate Hebrew Studies (1980) - Breve biografia
- Gerd Korman was born to a Jewish family in Elberfeld, Germany. In 1938, the family was deported from their home in Hamburg to Zbaszyn,
Poland. They separated in the months before World War II began with the hope of reuniting in the USA. His father sailed to Cuba on the ill-fated ship St. Louis and was later interned at the Dutch camp of Westerbork. His mother managed to send Gerd and his brother Manfred on a Kindertransport to England. Gerd lived with a family in rural England until the end of the war. In 1946, he was reunited with his parents and brother in New York City. He became an Assistant Professor of American History at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations in New York. His published works books include the prize-winning Industrialization, Immigrants, and Americanizers (1967), and several books that established him as an early student of the Holocaust, including the anthology Hunter and Hunted: Human History of the Holocaust (1973), and his childhood memoir, Nightmare’s Fairy Tale: A Young Refugee’s Home Fronts, 1938-1948 (2006).
