Book excerpt: In the period between the two world wars, Poland's Jewish community was second only in size to that of the United States, and was the laboratory in which the ideological orientations which dominated the Jewish world - Zionism, Bundism, Neo-Orthodoxy, Assimilation - were tested. There has been much disagreement as to the character and strength of anitsemitism in Poland at that time, and the extent to which the experience of the Jews aided the Nazis in carrying out their genocidal plans. This latest volume of Polin includes contributions from Poland, western Europe, Israel, and North America, which together provide a clearer understanding of the issues which have in the past proved so divisive. It also includes a number of personal testimonies from people who experienced the interwar period at first hand. The result is a book that will be essential reading for all those interested in modern Jewish history and in the problems of ethnic minorities in post-Versailles Europe.

Book Synopsis Assimilation and Polonization Among Jews in Inter-war Poland (1918-1939) by : Miri Freilich
Download or read book Assimilation and Polonization Among Jews in Inter-war Poland (1918-1939) written by Miri Freilich and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early years of the twentieth century, a group of Polish and Galician Jews who considered themselves "assimilationists" became active in Polish-Jewish society. They typically lived in the big cities (Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow and Lvov) and came either from the richer segments of the Jewish community or the upper middle class, were fluent in Polish, and identified with Polish culture and nationalism. In addition to the "assimilationists" there were Jews such as Henryk Shtrasman (1897-1940), his wife Lili (Alicia) (1908-1957), and their friends, who considered themselves to be Poles in all respects. They served in the Polish army and reached senior positions in Polish government, academia, and cultural and scientific institutes. Alienated from their Jewish identities, they saw no need to declare themselves "assimilationists." This volume explores the history, beliefs, and activities of each group, showing how Polish Jewry was developing before the sudden changes brought about by the Second World War.
Download or read book Jews in Krakow written by Michał Galas and published by Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry. This book was released on 2011 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Polish cities have evoked more affection from their Jewish inhabitants than Krakow, and this volume brings together the work of leading historians - from Israel, Poland, Great Britain, and the US - to explore how this relationship evolved. It takes as its starting point 1772, when Poland was partitioned between the Great Powers and Krakow came under Austrian rule, and it examines the relationship between the Jewish minority and the Polish majority in the city in the different stages of its history down to the period of German occupation during World War II. An additional perspective is provided by a consideration of how Jewish life in Krakow has been remembered by Holocaust survivors and how it is portrayed in post-war Polish literature. The main explanation for the specific nature of relations between Poles and Jews in Krakow seems to be that Jewish acculturation to Polish culture was more pronounced in Krakow than anywhere else in Poland. The Jewish community as a whole opened itself up to contemporary currents and participated in the life of the city, above all in its cultural dimension, while nevertheless retaining a highly articulated sense of Jewish identity and unity. This meant that Jews were able both to defend their interests effectively and to establish links with the rest of the population from a position of strength. An additional important factor appears to have been the more tolerant atmosphere which prevailed in the Austro-Hungarian empire, which meant that ethnic tensions were less acute than elsewhere on the Polish lands. Furthermore, the fact that the city was largely pre-industrial and conservative, and was a spiritual and intellectual center for both Catholics and Jews, may paradoxically have mitigated ethnic conflict, as did the fact that the two societies - Polish and Jewish - were largely socially separate. While the increase in anti-Semitism after 1935 and the consequences of the Holocaust are still etched in the minds of many, the city nevertheless has a special place in Jewish hearts and will continue to be remembered as one of the great centers of Jewish culture in east-central Europe. As in other volumes of Polin, the New Views section examines a number of important topics. These include a general investigation of the situation of the Jews in Galicia, an analysis of the position of Jewish slave laborers in the Kielce area under Nazi rule, an investigation into the resurgence after 1944 of the myth of ritual murder, and a discussion of the history of the Jewish settlement in Lower Silesia after the World War II.

Analyzes the implications for the Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians of Jewish attempts at neutrality.

Book Synopsis The Jews in a Polish Private Town by : Gershon David Hundert
Download or read book The Jews in a Polish Private Town written by Gershon David Hundert and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Montreal Jewish Public Library's J. I. Segal Prize Originally published in 1991. In the eighteenth century, more than half of the world's Jewish population lived in Polish private villages and towns owned by magnate-aristocrats. Furthermore, roughly half of Poland's entire urban population was Jewish. Thus, the study of Jews in private Polish towns is central to both Jewish history and to the history of Poland-Lithuania. The Jews in a Polish Private Town seeks to investigate the social, economic, and political history of Jews in Opatów, a private Polish town, in the context of an increasing power and influence of private towns at the expense of the Polish crown and gentry in the eighteenth century. Hundert recovers an important community from historical obscurity by providing a balanced perspective on the Jewish experience in the Polish Commonwealth and by describing the special dimensions of Jewish life in a private town.
