Nathan Ausubel (June 15, 1898–November, 1986)[1] was an American historian, folklorist and humorist. He specialized in Jewish culture. BiographyAusubel was born in Leżajsk, Galicia, the sixth of eight children in a Jewish family, and immigrated as a child with his family to Brooklyn, New York City in 1902.[2] He later attended Columbia University. Ausubel enlisted in the Jewish Legion's 39th Battalion during World War I and fought in the Jordan Valley. He was married briefly to Manya Schrager, and then Marynn Ausubel till her death in 1980; they had one daughter, Ethel Ausubel Frimmet. His nephew David P. Ausubel became a noted professor, educator, ethnographer, and a pioneer in cognitive educational psychology. BibliographyAusubel is best known for his two books, A Treasury of Jewish Folklore, which went through over twenty editions, and Pictorial History Of The Jewish People. This included detailed descriptions of previously unknown Lost Tribes of Israel, as well as information on the Khazars. A partial bibliography follows:
Ausubel translated several works of Yiddish literature, most notably Mother, by Sholom Asch. He also co-edited the annual series Voices of History. Quotes"Jews have received their tempering from an unflinching realism learned for a high fee in the school of life; they have always felt the need of fortifying their spirits with the armor of laughter against the barbs of the world."- A Treasury Of Jewish Folklore, 1948. "Folklore is a true and unguarded portrait, for where art may be selective, may conceal, may gloss over defects and even prettify, folk art is always revealing, always truthful in the sense that it is spontaneous expression."- A Treasury Of Jewish Folklore, 1948. "First you laugh at a Jewish joke or quip. Then, against your will, you suddenly fall silent and thoughtful. And that is because Jews are so frequently jesting philosophers. A hard life has made them realists, realists without illusion." - A Treasury of Jewish Humor, 1951. "Of all the astonishing experiences of the widely dispersed Jewish people none was more extraordinary than that concerning the Khazars."- Pictorial History of the Jewish People, 1953.
