This page should not be speedy deleted because Deborah Lifchitz is indeed a well known scholar who published books and articles on the culture and languages of Africa, mainly Ethiopia and Mali, and wrote about the Falachas (Ethiopian Jews). She is mentioned in other Wikipedia values such as that of Denise Paulme and in other internet resources. She has a value in the Encyclopedia Aethiopica (pages 567=568, please see http://books.google.com/books?id=l4WUdKWGcYsC&pg=PA568&lpg=PA568&dq=%22deborah+lifchitz%22&source=bl&ots=pairQsYE-J&sig=Rhg8gNpEyan7QVCcyDq7f2jpo9s&hl=en&ei=M_r6TcLcO4-ChQef__GIAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CDUQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22deborah%20lifchitz%22&f=false. Besides Lifchitz was a close colleague of a few of the most important anthropologists of the time - Michel Leiris (her letteres to him were published as a book), Wolf Leslau, Marcel Cohen and many others.
