Living In The Land Of Ashes

Is there a Jewish presence in Poland following the Shoah, and should one exist? How do contemporary Polish Jews, who are the descendants of survivors, connect with both the wartime atrocities and the illustrious heritage of Polish Jewry that came before? Do they find solace in living as a small minority within a predominantly Catholic nation? How do they reconcile their Polish and Jewish identities? Moreover, what was the effect of four decades of Communism on their lives? Konstanty Gebert provides valuable insights in his collection of essays regarding the Polish Jewish community after the war, drawing from both his personal experiences and eyewitness accounts. This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the current landscape of Jewish life in Poland.
