Poles And Jews - A Call For Myth Reconstruction

de Jennifer Stark-Blumenthal

~~198,75€~~ 178,88€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Nationalism’s global resurgence has upended societies. With the rise of the Polish nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, and American Jewry’s swift reaction to its law punishing people who allege Polish complicity in Holocaust crimes, both sides have revived old stereotypes. Stark-Blumenthal argues that American Jews’ disgust with Polish nationalism ought to be checked by America’s centuries-old embrace of white supremacy. Poles and Jews: A Call for Myth Reconstruction confronts both the anti-Polonism deeply embedded in the American Jewish community and Poland’s enduring relationship with antisemitism. Armed with two decades of research and in-depth interviews with scholars, community leaders, and laity in Poland and the U.S., Stark-Blumenthal dispels myths and considers new approaches to this relationship.

Shaping The Jewish Enlightenment - Solomon Dubno (1738-1813), An Eastern European Maskil

de Zuzanna Krzemien

~~198,75€~~ 178,88€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Drawing from diverse multilingual sources, Krzemie delves into Solomon Dubno''s life (1738-1813), unraveling complexities of the Haskalah movement''s ties to Eastern European Jewish culture. Dubno, a devout Polish Jew and adept Hebrew grammarian, played a pivotal role in Moses Mendelssohn''s endeavor to translate the Bible into German with a modern commentary (Biur). The book explores Dubno''s library, mapping the intellectual realm of a Polish Maskil in Western Europe. It assesses his influence on Mendelssohn''s project and the reasons behind their divergence. Additionally, it analyzes Dubno''s poetry, designed to captivate peers with the Bible''s linguistic beauty. The outcome portrays early Haskalah as a polyvocal, polycentric creation shaped by diverse, occasionally conflicting, visions, personalities, and egos.

I Came Home And There Was No One There - Conversations And Stories About The Uprising In The Warsaw Ghetto

de Hanka Grupinska

231,88€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book comprises interviews with the last veterans of the Jewish Fighting Organization (OB), accompanied by never previously published photographic "postcards" from ghettos in the Warsaw region, and a reconstruction of the only existing list of the (OB) soldiers.The first part of the book, a collection of conversations with the last soldiers of the OB, which fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, is called "Still Circling". The first of the interviews was recorded in 1985 with OB commander Marek Edelman, and the last another conversation with him from 2000. Grupiska’s other interlocutors are also OB veterans—rank-and-file soldiers, men and women. They relate the stories of their homes and backgrounds—some were Bundists, others from Zionist or religious families—followed by their recollections of how they experienced and remembered the uprising. This provides several unique perspectives on shared episodes. Images include portraits of Grupiska’s interlocutors, as well as never previously published photographs of the ghetto and its surroundings that are reminiscent of postcards.The second part of the book, "Rereading the List," is intended to function like a litany of the names of the OB members who fought in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. This list was compiled by a group of fighters in 1943 and rediscovered by the author in 2000. Each name is accompanied by a short story about the fighter—sometimes only a sentence or two—as well as any available photograph of them. The list is followed by a reconstruction of the OB army, its divisions, and the places they fought.
