Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. Signed, dated and generically inscribed upon verso of half-title by Maciej Jachimczyk, a fascinating well-studied Pole about whom you can learn more by searching for his name on a popular video website. "Focuses on the relationship of the Jews to the other peoples with whom they lived - sometimes in harmony, sometimes in conflict - to offer a general outline of the most significant factors in the evolution of Jewish life in Poland from the beginnings of Jewish settlement to the present day. The history of Polish Jewry, as a distinct and substantial community, is coming to an end, but the interest in Polish-Jewish history is increasingly widespread, and the concurrent research of a particularly high standard. This book brings together some of the best studies and covers aspects of Jewish history that have not previously been studied in such depth." - dust jacket. 264 pp. Footnotes and Index.

First edition. Octavo. xiii, (1), 624pp. Index. Color illustrated boards with red spine lettered in white. With 12 illustrations (most in color) and 3 maps. A fine, as new copy. Warsaw was once home to the largest and most diverse Jewish community in the world. It was a center of rich varieties of Orthodox Judaism, Jewish Socialism, Diaspora Nationalism, Zionism, and Polonization. This volume is the first to reflect on the entire history of the Warsaw Jewish community, from its inception in the late 18th century to its emergence as a Jewish metropolis within a few generations, to its destruction during the German occupation and tentative re-emergence in the postwar period. The highly original contributions collected here investigate Warsaw Jewry's religious and cultural life, press and publications, political life, and relations with the surrounding Polish society. This monumental volume is dedicated to Professor Antony Polonsky, chief historian of the new Warsaw Museum for the History of Polish Jews, on the occasion of his 75th birthday.
