Biographical Sketch

Jacob R. Marcus

Jacob Rader Marcus, historian, educator, rabbi, and founder of the American Jewish Archives, was born near Connellsville, Pennsylvania on March 5, 1896. At an early age Marcus' family moved to Wheeling, West Virginia. At the age of 15, Marcus left his family to come to Cincinnati to study for the rabbinate at Hebrew Union College (HUC). While attending HUC Marcus also attended the University of Cincinnati, where he received his B.A. degree in 1917. Shortly thereafter, Marcus served in the U.S. Army as part of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War I. In June 1920, a year after his return from the army, Marcus was ordained a rabbi and appointed to the HUC faculty. In 1923 he went to Germany to study at the University of Berlin and received a Ph.D. there in 1925, magna cum laude. Returning to HUC in 1926, he continued teaching courses on the Bible and modern history.

In 1926 Marcus began to publish primarily in the area of German-Jewish history. Two books were especially noteworthy: The Rise and Destiny of the German Jew (1934) and Communal Sick-Care in the German Ghetto (1947). In 1938 Marcus published The Jew in the Medieval World, the first source book in English on medieval Jewish history, which is still in use as a text for college courses many decades after its first publication.

In the late 1930s Marcus began to shift his research focus to American Jewish history. In 1942 he taught the first course in American Jewish history ever to be given in any university. As part of his burgeoning research into American Jewry, Marcus recognized the need to preserve records and documents relating to American Jewish communal life. As a result, in 1947, Marcus established and became director of the American Jewish Archives, located on the Cincinnati campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. The American Jewish Archives, under the direction of Jacob R. Marcus, grew to be one of the largest archives in the world devoted to the history of Jews in the Western Hemisphere.

In 1970 Marcus published a three-volume history, The Colonial American Jew, and later, a four-volume study, United States Jewry, 1776-1984 (1989-1993). In all, Jacob Rader Marcus wrote or edited nearly 30 volumes on European and American Jewish history and well over 250 scholarly articles. In 1959 he was appointed as the Milton and Hattie Kutz Distinguished Service Chair in American Jewish History at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion which he occupied until the time of his death. In addition to his duties as director of the American Jewish Archives Marcus was a past president of the American Jewish Historical Society and a former trustee of the Jewish Publication Society. In addition, he was president and then honorary president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the rabbinic organization of Reform Judaism. He also was the recipient of eight honorary degrees and two Festschriften, and was a fifty-year member of the American Historical Association.

For over half a century, Jacob Rader Marcus was a commanding figure among historians of the American Jewish experience. Known as the "Dean of American Jewish Historians," Marcus worked with a singularity of purpose in writing, teaching, and preserving the 350-year experience of Jews in the New World. He was also a highly respected and revered rabbi, being a teacher and mentor to many generations of American rabbis.

In 1987, the City of Cincinnati honored Marcus by naming the corner on which he lived Jacob Rader Marcus Square. In 1925, he married Antoinette Brody from New York who was studying voice in Berlin. They were married in Paris on December 31 of that year. Antoinette Brody Marcus died in 1953. They had one daughter, Merle Judith, who also preceded him in death in 1965. Jacob Rader Marcus died on November 14, 1995 at the age of 99.
