Jewish Lublin. A Cultural Monograph

Opis książki:

This book describes a Lublin not found on any map: a Lublin built 800 years ago whose character was shaped by the people who lived in it. Understanding that Lublin requires an act of imagination, for a vibrant Jewish Lublin is not found in the city of today. Lublin`s Jewish past had a long history, of which only traces remain. This book tries to capture that history, describing the parts of its culture that flourished there, reconstructing what was so horrifically destroyed. It therefore seeks to acquaint readers with a world that is lost, dignifying the effors of those who built it and those who have their roots in its soil, perhabs helping us - today - to imagine a future where peace and respect for people and cultures can reign.
