 Anat Plocker
Post Graduate Researcher, YIISA Anat Plocker obtained her BA and MA (magna cum laude) in history from Tel Aviv University. She wrote her dissertation in the department of history at Stanford University where she specialized in Modern Eastern European and Jewish history. The dissertation, entitled “’Zionists to Dayan’: the anti- Zionist campaign in Poland, 1967-1968,” is the first English-language study of the subject. The dissertation traces the development, causes, consequences and abrupt end of the campaign that led to the emigration of thousands of Jews from communist Poland. It maps the different voices in the communist Party, revealing the ideology behind the campaign and explaining this outburst of post-Holocaust anti-Semitism. During her studies, Ms. Plocker received the William J. and Fern E. Lowenberg Fellowship for Holocaust Studies and the James Birdsall Weter Memorial Fund fellowship. |
