By the early 1960s, the supremely influential critic Clement Greenberg was ordaining that painting had a historic destiny that could be realized only in work in which distinct form and deep space gave way to flat, thin washes of color.

Meanwhile, YIVO has enlisted "giants" of Holocaust studies to put the letters in context: American University professor Richard Breitman and David Engel, New York University's Maurice Greenberg Professor of Holocaust studies...
