Rosenfeld is IU’s Irving M. Glazer Chair of Jewish Studies, a professor of English and Jewish studies, and a member of the Louis D. Brandeis Center’s Academic Advisory Board.

In addition, this blog recently described the success of Rosenfeld’s newest book, The End of the Holocaust. LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus commented,”Alvin Rosenfeld is one of our leading scholars of contemporary anti-Semitism, but he is also a giant in the fields of Holocaust literature and Jewish studies.
