attracted by the high caliber of the faculty, greatly respected

the field. One of the Department’s great strengths, this distinguished

inspires undergraduate and graduate students alike. James Young,
current chair of the Department, is a renowned literary and cultural
historian of the Holocaust and the only Jewish and American member
