Diner is an American historian. Diner is the Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History; Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, History; Director of the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History at New York University and Interim Director of Glucksman Ireland House NYU. Diner received a B.A. in 1968 from the University of Wisconsin. She went on to earn an M.A. in 1970 from the University of Chicago; and a Ph.D. in 1975 from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her Ph.D. dissertation "In the Almost Promised Land: Jewish Leaders and Blacks, 1915-1935" was directed by Professor Leo Schelbert. In 2002 she published Her Works Praise Her: A History of Jewish Women in America from Colonial Times to the Present. In 2009 she published We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence after the Holocaust, 1945-1962.

Between 1820 and 1880, European Jews arrived in the United States in ever greater numbers.

In A Time for Gathering, Hasia Diner describes this "second wave" of Jewish migration. Isaac Wolfe Bernheim (cover illustration) (illustrator).…
