4.9/5 (31136 ratings)

Description:(from the dust cover) Ninety percent of the Jews in Europe and America today and 80 percent of all Jews in the world came out of Eastern Europe. It was Poland that produced the pietists, the Hebraists, the Yiddishists, the pioneers, and many noted men of letters and action. Three and a quarter million Jews lived in Poland in the years between the Wars. It was a complex and kaleidoscopic Kehilla. Chassis and Bundist, Mitnagged and Marxist, each with the fire of his own passionate beliefs, intermingled on the Polish scene. In an age of systematic persecution and licensed discrimination, the Jew managed miraculously to retain a spiritual joie de vivre.In the six years between 1939 and 1945, a millenial culture perished in a bloody haze such as the world has never seen. Poland became the graveyard of Polish Jewry, a central cemetery for the Jewish communities of Europe.Today Poland is virtually Judenrein. As we recall with awe and anguish the martyrdom of Polish Jewry and the heroism of the Warsaw Ghetto, it is the moment to record the history of Polish Jewry in the years that directly preceded the holocaust. The world has seen how millions of Jews died. It is equally important to see how they lived. The flower of Jewish life, as it was before World War II, is no more. But precious memories were saved.Dr. Rabinowicz has managed the difficult feat of compressing twenty years of history into one volume. Readers will salute its breadth, and vigorous style. The Legacy of Polish Jewry is indispensable reading for those who wish to make their first acquaintance with modern Jewish history.
