In Memoriam
Justus Rosenberg, Professor Emeritus of Languages and Literature
(1921–2021)
(1921–2021)
Justus Rosenberg, Professor Emeritus of Languages & Literature and Visiting Professor of Literature, died at home in Annandale on October 30, 2021, having celebrated his 100th birthday on January 23, 2021. Justus was a hero of the French Resistance who escorted well-known émigré writers and intellectuals, among them Heinrich Mann, Franz Werfel and many others, through the treacherous Pyrenees to safety in Spain. For his service later in the war in aid of the U.S. Army, Justus received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart, and in 2017, the French ambassador to the United States decorated him as a Commandeur in the Légion d’Honneur, one of France’s highest distinctions. Justus arrived at Bard in 1962, where he taught European literature and many languages to generations of Bard students. In the spirit of the Jewish tradition in which he was raised, “May his memory be a blessing.”
