GARTNER, LLOYD P.

GARTNER, LLOYD P. (1927– ), American-Israeli historian. Educated in the United States, Gartner was a professor at the City University of New York and the Jewish Theological Seminary before becoming professor of history at Tel Aviv University. He is probably best-known for his work The Jewish Immigrant in England, 1870–1914 (1960), a pioneering work on Anglo-Jewish history which was among the earliest to study the post-1881 "New Diaspora" in Great Britain. Gartner has also written or edited a number of works on American Jewish history, including Jewish Education in the United States: A Documentary History (1969) and co-authored histories of the Jewish community in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and Cleveland. In 2000 Gartner produced a comprehensive History of the Jews in Modern Times. (William D. Rubinstein (2nd ed.)
