DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book is the first to deal with the impact on the Jews of the area of the sovietization of Eastern Poland. Polish resentment at alleged Jewish collaboration with the Soviets between 1939 and 1941 affected the development of Polish-Jewish relations under Nazi rule and in the USSR. The role of these conflicts both in the Anders army and in the Communist-led Kosciuszko division and 1st Polish Army is investigated, as well as the part played by Jews in the communist-dominated regime in Poland after 1944.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In his three-volume history, Antony Polonsky provides a comprehensive survey-socio-political, economic, and religious-of the Jewish communities of eastern Europe from 1350 to the present. Until the Second World War, this was the heartland of the Jewish world: nearly three and a half million Jews lived in Poland alone, while nearly three million more lived in the Soviet Union. Although the majority of the Jews of Europe and the United States, and many of the Jews of Israel, originate from these lands, their history there is not well known. Rather, it is the subject of mythologizing and stereotypes that fail both to bring out the specific features of the Jewish civilization which emerged there and to illustrate what was lost. Jewish life, though often poor materially, was marked by a high degree of spiritual and ideological intensity and creativity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Each of the three volumes of this work provides a comprehensive picture of the realities of Jewish life in the Polish lands in the period it covers, while also considering the contemporary political, economic, and social context. This volume, from 1881 to 1914, explores the factors that had a negative impact on Jewish life as well as the political and cultural movements that developed in consequence: Zionism, socialism, autonomism, the emergence of modern Hebrew and Yiddish literature, Jewish urbanization, and the rise of popular Jewish culture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Jews of Russia and Poland: A Bird's-Eye View of Their History and Culture The present publication is based on a course of lectures which, at the invitation of Dr. Cyrus Adler, President of the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning in Philadelphia, I delivered before that Institution in the month of March. The choice of the subject had been prompted by the timely interest which an historic sketch of the Polish and Russian Jews must possess at the present moment when nearly half of the great world-struggle is being fought out on a territory which is officially designated as their Pale of Settlement. I had felt considerable reluctance in venturing beyond the domain of my regular scientific studies which lie in a different direction. But the recognition of the importance of the task at this unique juncture and the astonishing fact that no one had come forward to undertake it helped me in overcoming my original hesitation. The same consideration is now actuating me in bringing my literary attempt before a wider public. In doing so, I do not claim to offer new and independent results of investigation, but rather to summarize the results obtained by others.
