It also delivers a compelling picture and credible picture of how Jews responded to dramatic change . . . does well to focus on women, whom previous histories often ignore.- Lawrence Joffe, Jewish ChronicleRemarkable for its scale and ambition . . . Polonsky manages to combine great themes with fascinating detail . . . [he] has read widely in numerous languages. The erudition is impressive . . . extremely judicious in negotiating a number of notorious historiographical minefields . . . makes important distinctions between different countries in eastern Europe and consequently the different experience of the Jews . . . a magnificent, scholarly work, clearly written, with a magisterial overview of its subject.- DavidHerman, Jewish RenaissancePolonskys sweeping study offers an illuminating, accessibleview of Jewish life in eastern Euope since the end of World War II. In elegantprose, the author engages major historiographical issues while analyzingimportant cultural, religious, social, and political trends among easternEuropean Jewry. He carefully frames each section with a chapter-long overviewof the relevant historical context for the following chapters . . . Throughout,Polonsky masterfully navigates the different realms of a turbulent easternEuropean Jewish world, conveying both the richness of its history and thetragedy of its destruction. Highly recommended.J. Haus, Choice Exemplary and formidable . . . Polonsky, as much as anyone else, has created the field of modern Jewish history as a subject to be considered and understood rather than simply a tragic past to be mourned. He is too good a historian to confuse the history of Jewish life with the German policies that brought Jewish death . . . The barely visible commitment in these three wonderful volumes is to rescue a world from polemic, for the sake of history.Timothy Snyder, Wall Street Journal Succeedsadmirably.
