A Disastrous Matter
This book sets out to present the Polish-Russian conflict the way the elite of Russian society saw it. One of its chief research topics is the interaction between Russian public opinion, the policy the Empire pursued on its uncompliant subjects, and the impact the Polish conflict had on the evolution of Russian political ideas and movements. A major issue it addresses is the reaction of Russian society, its diverse political factions and social and philosophical trends and their relationship to the Polish national movement, and the effect of the Polish question on their evolution. Research in numerous archives and manuscript collections in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, played a fundamental role in the work for this book. This book was originally published in Polish as Fatalna sprawa: Kwestia polska w rosyjskiej mysli politycznej (Kraków: Arcana, 2000). It was awarded the Klio Prize, a prestigious Polish award for the best monograph on a historical subject. This English translation is an abridged version (about 1/3 of the book's original size).
Jewish Childhood in Kraków
Winner of the 2020 Ernst Fraenkel Prize from the Wiener Holocaust Library Jewish Childhood in Kraków is the first book to tell the history of Kraków in the second World War through the lens of Jewish children’s experiences. Here, children assume center stage as historical actors whose recollections and experiences deserve to be told, analyzed, and treated seriously. Sliwa scours archives to tell their story, gleaning evidence from the records of the German authorities, Polish neighbors, Jewish community and family, and the children themselves to explore the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland and in Kraków in particular. A microhistory of a place, a people, and daily life, this book plumbs the decisions and behaviors of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Offering a window onto human relations and ethnic tensions in times of rampant violence, Jewish Childhood in Kraków is an effort both to understand the past and to reflect on the position of young people during humanitarian crises.
The Transformation of Religious Orders in Central and Eastern Europe
The first volume to explore various facets of contemporary change in consecrated religious life in selected Central and Eastern European countries, this book presents a series of studies of Catholic and Orthodox monasticism. With attention to changes in the economy, everyday life, organisation and social presence of monastic orders, contributors shed light on the impact of 20th and 21st century social and cultural processes – such as communism and its collapse or the growth of new communication technologies – on life in the cloister. Bringing together research from various locations in Central and Eastern Europe, it will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, religious studies and theology, with interests in religious orders and transformations of religious life from a social perspective.

Getrennt und doch verbunden
Durch die Teilungen Polens entstand ab 1772 in einem historisch gewachsenen Raum eine neue Grenze. Anhand der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklung dreier Stadtepaare (Brody-Radzivilov, Podwooczyska-Voloeisk, Husiatyn-Gusjatin) auf beiden Seiten der Grenze untersuchen die Autoren die Folgen dieser Teilungen auf den Grenzraum. Der Fokus liegt auf zwischenstaatlichen und zwischenstadtischen Beziehungen: Neben den Mechanismen der Grenzregulierung werden grenzuberschreitende Prozesse wie Handel, Schmuggel, Pilgerfahrten und Flucht dargestellt. Der Erste Weltkrieg als gewaltsame Grenzuberschreitung bildet den Schlusspunkt der Studie. Dieses Buch zeigt die weit reichenden Folgen im Zentrum getroffener Entscheidungen auf die Peripherie der Reiche der Habsburger und Romanovs auf.
