From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moses Rischin (1925-2020 [1] ) was an American historian , author , lecturer , editor , and emeritus professor of history at San Francisco State University . [2] [3] He coined the phrase new Mormon history in a 1969 article of the same name. [4]

Rischin is considered an authority on American ethnic and immigration history [5] [6] and a pioneer in the field of American Jewish history . [7] Historian Selma Berrol , however, has challenged the minimal treatment Rischin has given to the tensions between earlier German Jews and later Russian Jews in America. [8]
