Without Jews? Yiddish literature in the People’s Republic of Poland on the Holocaust, Poland and Communism

Magdalena Ruta delves into the scarcely explored domain of post-World War II Yiddish literature in Poland. She offers a clear and engaging examination of numerous texts, making her work accessible to both general readers and scholars. The book is likely to attract those from various fields, along with a broader audience, as it addresses challenging and intricate issues that have only recently begun to receive significant scholarly attention. Topics include the controversial post-war Polish-Jewish relations and the allure of communism for many Polish Jewish intellectuals. Notably, Ruta approaches these sensitive subjects with expertise and impartiality, as highlighted by Prof. Monika Adamczyk-Garbowska. This description is provided by the publisher.
