Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 5: New Research, New Views (Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry, 5)

This volume focuses on Polish Jews in Germany, Zionism in Poland, and art and architecture. More specifically, this latter section considers the physical impact of the Jewish presence in Polish towns - in general, and in Góra Kalwaria, home to˜the Gerer hasidic dynasty. It includes a map of synagogue buildings still standing in 1988 and an inventory showing their current use, and an illustrated article on recent Jewish monuments in Warsaw. Several of the remaining articles relate˜to Polish or Yiddish literature.
