In Search of Polin: Chasing Jewish Ghosts in Today's Poland - Washington College Studies in Religion, Politics, and Culture
Gary S. Schiff
Taking a multi-faceted approach to the 1,000 years of Polish Jewish history, the author combines academic scholarship with his own family's long history and his insightful travel experiences and candid observations. He finds that they typify Polish Jewry in its classic setting, the shtetl or small town.
