Robert G. Weisbord is professor emeritus of History at the University of Rhode Island. He has published seven books and numerous articles dealing with issues of racism in sports, the Vatican, and the Holocaust.[1] He taught an Afro-American history course at the University of Rhode Island in 1966 that was the first such offering at a New England state university.[2]

Biography

Weisbord received his BA in History from New York University in 1955 and his PhD in History from New York University in 1966.[1]

In 1993, the Chicago Tribune reported on research conducted by Weisbord and Norbert Hedderich which changed the historical view of boxer Max Schmeling from a Nazi sympathizer to someone who aided Jews.[3][4] American scholar and author Harry J. Cargas, said Weisbord's book, The Chief Rabbi, The Pope, and The Holocaust, "shows excellent scholarship, and is a valuable contribution to both the Holocaust literature and the literature of Jewish-Catholic relation."[5]
