'An outstanding history of Jewish life in Poland ... The introduction and sensitive editing by Antony Polonsky give us an insight into scholarship covering a fascinating history and the basic problems of Jewish life which are not only the mark of Polish/Jewish history but become paradigmatic of all the Jewish life ... brings together the writings of those scholars who have specialized in Polish history and have total command of both Yiddish and Polish, but are also aware of other scholars and their contributions ... becomes a summary of a decade of scholarship, and is also an introduction for what should be more than a decade of future work ... This first volume should be followed by other texts which will help us to gain wisdom and understanding-the central purpose of the Littman Library, which must be congratulated for this new venture.' European Judaism 'Antony Polonsky's monumental collection of studies cover the ten centuries of Jewish life in Poland ... written by acknowledged scholars ... The spectrum is broad ... One can only express admiration for the editor and the institutions concerned for this effort to enlighten us and future generations about some aspects of Jewish existence in a land where, practically speaking, Jews live no more.' Alexander Zvielli, Jerusalem Post '... to be welcomed.' Harry Rabinowicz, Le'ela
