Monika Richarz

Monika Richarz (born 8 June 1937) is a German historian. The focus of her work is on the social history of the Jewish minority in Germany, and the relationships between the Germans and the Jews. In talking about her area of expertise, she likes to explain that there is a whole lot more to "Jewish history" than Auschwitz.

Between 1993 and her retirement in 2001 she was the director of the Hamburg based "Institute for the History of German Jews" (''"Institut für die Geschichte der deutschen Juden"''). In 2022 Camden House published an English translation of her dissertation ''Der Eintritt der Juden in die akademischen Berufe'' under the title ''German Jews and the University, 1678–1848''.
