Otto Dov Kulka (''Ôttô Dov Qûlqā''; born April 16, 1933 in Czechoslovakia) is an Israeli historian, professor emeritus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His primary areas of specialization are the study of modern antisemitism from the early modern age until its manifestation under the National-Socialism regime as the “Final Solution”; Jewish thought in Europe – and Jews in European thought – from the sixteenth to the twentieth century; Jewish-Christian relations in modern Europe; the history of the Jews in Germany; and the study of the Holocaust. ==Biography== Otto Dov Kulka was born in 1933, in Czechoslovakia, to Elly and Erich Kulka. Following the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, in 1939, his father was arrested by the Gestapo and in 1942 transported from a concentration camp in Germany to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Kulka and his mother were deported in September 1942 to the Theresienstadt Ghetto, and from there, in September 1943, to the "family camp" in Auschwitz-Birkenau. His mother died in the Stutthof concentration camp at the beginning of 1945. After the war, he and his father returned to Czechoslovakia. Kulka immigrated to Israel in March 1949 and joined the Kibbutz Kfar Hamaccabi. He added a Hebrew name – Dov – to his original name. Since 1958 he has lived in Jerusalem. He is married to Chaia Kulka and is the father of a daughter, Eliora Kulka-Soroka. Kulka began his academic studies in 1958, at the Hebrew University, and in 1966 joined the faculty of its Department of the History of the Jewish People. He retired as professor emeritus in 1999 and since then has kept up his research activity and continued to publish scholarly and other works. The aesthetician Tomáš Kulka is his brother. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otto Dov Kulka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
