Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, where she worked as an archivist. Stern became a widow in 1953 without having children. In 1955 she retired and was involved in founding the Leo Baeck Institute. In 1960 Stern moved to Basel, where her sister lived. Between 1961 and 1972 she published Der preußische Staat und die Juden, carefully referenced. Topics covered include quotas of Jews or Jewish families (Schutzjuden), bank ownership, the minting activities by the court Jews Veitel Heine Ephraim and Daniel Itzig and their trade in silver and debased coins during and after the Seven Years' War, interest, taxes and fees. In 1974 a complete index was published with the help of three co-workers. Stern obviously liked the quote "What man understands he is able to withstand", which she used more than once in the introduction of her books.
