Friedrich Katz (1927-2010) fue un historiador que tuvo la rara habilidad de expresarse con la misma elocuencia en una clase, una entrevista, un artículo o un libro. Su caso sería asimilable al de los grandes investigadores e escritores de la historia que fueron, además, excelentes maestros y transmisores eficaces del conocimiento histórico por cualquier medio. – Rafael Rojas, La Razón
