Abstract:
Surveys the variant accounts of Dubnow's death in the massacre of 8 December 1941. None of them is verifiable, but they all point to the inner truth of the confrontation between barbarism and the culture of intellect and scholarship. Several versions claim that Dubnow was writing a diary or chronicle of the ghetto. Speeches and writings dedicated to his memory stress that he died as a martyr sharing the fate of his Jewish people.
