Timeline
Chimen Abramsky (שמעון אברמסקי; 12 September 1916 – 14 March 2010) was emeritus professor of Jewish studies at University College London.
His first name is pronounced Shimon.
Abramsky was born in Minsk to a Lithuanian Jewish family on 12 September 1916, the son of Rabbi Yehezkel Abramsky.
He gained a BA degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and an MA from the University of Oxford.
He was Reader in Jewish History, then Goldsmid Professor of Hebrew and Jewish Studies at University College London.
He was a Senior Fellow at St Antony's College, Oxford.
A noted scholar of Jewish History, Abramsky was also well known as an expert of antiquarian Hebrew books and manuscripts, and was professionally consulted for many years by the auction house Sotheby's, which traditionally ran one Hebraica and Judaica auction every year.
His father arrived in London in December 1931 after being expelled from the Soviet Union.
The next year Chimen arrived with his mother and younger brother.
Three years later, in 1935, he travelled to Palestine to study history at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem but became involved in socialist campus politics.
On one occasion he was beaten up by future Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Shamir – then a leading figure in the rightwing Irgun.
He was described as an atheist.
Visiting London in the summer of 1939 to see his parents Abramsky was unable to return to Palestine because of World War 2.
Instead he started working at Shapiro, Vallentine & Co., London's oldest Jewish bookshop and publisher of Jewish scholarly books, where he met Miriam Nirenstein, the proprietor's daughter.
They married in 1940 and had two children, Jack and Jenny.
Jenny became of the BBC's longest-serving senior executives.
The house Chimen and Miriam shared in Highgate, Northern London, was considered an important destination for thinkers and scholars.
In 1966, he was invited to take up a newly created lectureship in modern Jewish history at University College London.
In a well-known incident, Abramsky once hosted the Japanese crown prince and Hebrew scholar Prince Takahito Mikasa at the University College London's Institute of Jewish Studies in 1975.
Abramsky died on 14 March 2010.
