Publish in a newspaper
Philip was born in Nancy, France to Ludwig and Marthe Eidelberg on March 6, 1937. His family escaped from Europe to the United States in the early 1940s and he attended high school at Riverdale Country School, graduating in 1954. He went on to earn a B.A. degree in History from Harvard University in 1958 and a PhD degree in History from Columbia University in 1970. Philip worked as a lecturer for the University of South Africa for 29 years. He enjoyed French cuisine, reading and spending time with his family.
Philip is survived by his stepson, Dietrich Moor of New Canaan, CT, his daughter-in-law, Heather and grand-children, Nathaniel, Andrew and Elizabeth Moor. He is preceded in death by his wife, Martha, and parents, Ludwig and Marthe.

I was very sad to learn of Phil Eidelberg´s passing. He was a fascinating intellectual with unusual insights and perspectives. I first met Phil at a conference in Moscow in 1997. We stayed in touch, and I stayed with Phil and his late wife Martzi in Pretoria when I went to South Africa for research. We also met in London, and when they moved to the US, I used to meet them in Manhattan, often at the Oyster Bar in Grand Central, sometimes taking in a museum. We also visited each other´s homes in Connecticut. I shall miss Phil, as I also miss Martzi. His family has my deepest sympathies.
