Book Reviews of The Jews in Poland

Book Review: Interesting collection of essays
Summary: 4 Stars

"The Jews In Poland" collects seventeen papers presented at the International Conference on Polish-Jewish Studies in 1984. The authors evaluate a wide range of topics spanning the breadth of Polish-Jewish history. All are interesting and informative. As might be expected with a collection of scholarly papers, a few authors challenge the reader with some unnecessary academese. Also, the papers dealing with contemporary Polish-Jewish relations are now somewhat dated.

In another review of this book, a radical Polish ethno-nationalist delights in Ezra Mendelsohn's criticism of Celia Heller's "On the Edge of Destruction." Of course, the myopic reviewer purposely ignores Mendelsohn's overall assessment of Polish-Catholic anti-Semitism. Mendelsohn explains Polish scholars' reluctance to acknowledge anti-Semitism with, "they are accustomed to regard Poland as a victim, and victims are extremely reluctant to admit that they have victimized others." (p.138)
