My Take
Omer Bartov is a scholar I hold in real esteem. As a leading authority on the Holocaust and genocide at Brown University, with a Guggenheim and a Humboldt Prize to his name, he does work that is rarely glamorous but genuinely foundational. To me, historians like him build the quiet bedrock that helps humanity resist repeating its worst chapters. It takes uncommon fortitude to stare directly at the histories most people would rather avoid, year after year. I deeply respect his willingness to engage difficult, painful subjects with rigor and moral seriousness, and I think his scholarship matters more than ever.
