David Hershberg, a retired University of Louisville professor who dedicated
his life to bringing cultures together, died yesterday of bone cancer. He was 67.
Hershberg came to the university in 1976 to be chairman of classical and modern
languages, and he was a professor of Spanish, Italian and humanities. In 1986 he
became the director of U of L's international programs.
Hershberg was a volunteer with many international groups. He was a member of the
board of the Louisville International Cultural Center when it was founded, and he held
several offices at the center, including the presidency.
He was involved with the Sister Cities of Louisville, leading two delegations to Quito,
Ecuador, and winning the 1990 Sister Cities award for environmental projects. He was
also a founder of the Louisville Asia Institute, also known as the Crane House.
He fought a long battle with multiple myeloma, a form of bone cancer that attacks the
marrow. The cancer, diagnosed in 1996, went into remission for a year after he received a
bone-marrow transplant.
When the cancer came back, Hershberg was giving away his books and other treasured
possessions and preparing to die when he learned of an experimental drug called LDP-341.
He and his wife, Roberta, went to Boston so he could get the treatment, and when they
returned to Louisville in late 2001 it appeared that he had beaten the cancer again. But it
returned in recent months.
Hershberg's struggle was the subject of a Courier-Journal story earlier this year.
In addition to his teaching and volunteer work, Hershberg was involved in many inter-
national associations, including the Kentucky Council of Teaching Foreign Languages,
the Kentucky chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese,
the Association of International Education Administrators and the International Education
Administrators Association.
Hershberg was also France's honorary consul in Kentucky.
Hershberg, the son of Russian immigrants, was born in Boston.
He had a bachelor's degree in Italian from the University of Michigan, a master's in Spanish
from Harvard and a doctorate in Romance languages from the University of Michigan.
He retired from U of L in 1998. Before coming to Louisville he had taught at the University
of Illinois and at Wayne State University in Detroit.
In addition to his wife, Hershberg is survived by two sons, Eric Hershberg of New York and
Paul Hershberg; a daughter, Susan Hershberg; sister, Mindy Smollen of Dennis, Massachusetts;
and a brother, Jonathon Hershberg of Brookline, Massachusetts.
Visitation will be at the family's home from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm today and tomorrow.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Memorial gifts can go to the Louisville International Cultural Center Scholarship Fund, the
Kentuckiana Cancer Institute or the Hershberg Award for Excellence at the University of
Louisville.
