Dear Ethan and Liran,

In addition to Liran's valuable lead, there's a letter in French from Gitta Amipaz-Silber to Raphael Benazerraf, Paris, from 1984 in which she poses research questions about North African Jews -- but also discloses a biographical detail about herself, which was evidently the origin of her inquiry: "I spent five years in Morocco, 1940-1945, as a Jewish refugee from Belgium -- first in Casablanca, then in Safi."

Dear Ethan,

I am looking for biographical information about the Israeli independent scholar Gitta Amipaz-Silber (1923-2005). She is best known for her pioneering book on the Machteret Yehudit b'Algeria (The Jewish Underground in Algeria during WWII -- about which I am currently writing a book). It is surprisingly difficult to find even basic background about her among colleagues I've spoken to in the field or by searching online, and I'd be grateful for any information or any possible leads. 

best,

Ethan Katz
