Notes for Joseph “Yossele” P Lash
He was the subject of the article in the New York Telegram entitled From the Delicessen Store to 118
From his obituary in the New York Times
“In his 30-year career as a biographer, Mr. Lash wrote full-length studies on such figures as Dag Hammarskjold and Helen Keller. But it was ''Eleanor and Franklin,'' the first installment in his two-volume biography of Mrs. Roosevelt, that won him the most enduring fame.
The 1971 book, which won the Pulitzer Prize, drew heavily on Mrs. Roosevelt's papers, to which Mr. Lash had been given access by the Roosevelt family. But while the work had the imprimatur of an authorized biography, ''there is nothing of an 'official' label on any of its pages,'' the Pulitzer jurors noted. ''It is a sharp, vivid and yet kindly recreation of the lives of a famous couple, shedding new insights on their sometimes inspired, sometimes deeply troubled relationship.''184
