History professor Udi Greenberg wins book award

By Carter Brace | April 4, 2016

History professor Udi Greenberg’s own family history helps to explain why he chose his field of study. His grandparents were refugees from Nazi Germany who fled to South Africa. In the process, his family went from racially persecuted Jews under the Nazis to elite whites under the apartheid regime. His parents, objecting to the racism in South Africa, then left for Israel. Growing up in Israel, Greenberg himself never thought of himself as white, as race was not talked about because people mostly divided themselves by religion, he said.
