Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry, Volume 5
Now in its fifth volume, Polin is established as the leading forum for authoritative historical and cultural material on Polish and East European Jewry. Each volume contains articles presenting original research, often including previously unpublished documents. Each issue also features an extensive review essay section and a forum for the exchange of ideas and views between authors. Volume 5 covers three special subject areas in the field of Polish and East European Studies. Firstly, it explores the Jewish influence on the art and architecture of Poland, particularly in respect to town planning and town buildings. The second section looks at the subject of Jews in Germany in a historical context. Thirdly, it looks at the important issues of Zionism in Poland. All these issues and more are discussed in this 5th volume of Polin.
The Shtetl
The majority of Polish Jews always lived in the villages and small towns known as shtetls. Much of what we know of life in the shtetls comes from literary accounts rather than from historical research. This volume redresses that imbalance, with leading experts investigating the social and economic history of the shtetl as well as the way in which shtetl life has been reflected in Hebrew, Polish, and Yiddish literature.
Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 37
Instead of treating Polish and German Jewish histories as playing out solely within national boundaries, this volume considers the interactions that have in practice shaped Jewish life---kinship ties and shared economic, cultural, and linguistic realities. By moving beyond traditional paradigms it open up a nuanced understanding of modern European Jewish history.

Chapters include discussions of the consequences of Galician autonomy; Galician Jewish migration to Vienna; the reforms of Maria Theresa and Joseph II in the eighteenth century, the assimilation of the Jewish elite; and levels of literacy among Poles and Jews.
Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 6
Now in its sixth year of publication, Polin is rapidly emerging as a leading forum for authoritative historical and cultural material on Polish and east European Jewry.

Polin is essential reading not only for all those working in Jewish studies, but also for those involved in Slavonic and Eastern European studies. This year's volume traces the history of the Jews in Lodz 1820-1939.
Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 36
Changes in childhood and children's roles in society, and in how children participate in determining their own lives, have long been of interest to historians. Recent years have seen the emergence of new perspectives on the study of childhood, both in historical scholarship and in literary and cultural studies. Children's experiences are now scrutinized not only as a means of examining the lives and self-representation of young individuals and their families, but also to investigate how the early experiences of individuals can shed light on larger historical questions. This volume applies both approaches in the context of Jewish eastern Europe. Historian Gershon Hundert has argued that study...

Jews in Warsaw
Few Polish cities have evoked more affection from their Jewish inhabitants than Krakow, and this volume brings together the work of leading historians - from Israel, Poland, Great Britain, and the US - to explore how this relationship evolved. It takes as its starting point 1772, when Poland was partitioned between the Great Powers and Krakow came under Austrian rule, and it examines the relationship between the Jewish minority and the Polish majority in the city in the different stages of its history down to the period of German occupation during World War II. An additional perspective is provided by a consideration of how Jewish life in Krakow has been remembered by Holocaust survivors and...
