The Jews of Poznań

Front Cover
Vallentine Mitchell, 2003 - Holocaust survivors - 199 pages
The Holocaust swept away the centuries-old Jewish community of Pozna�������± in western Poland. Zbigniew Pakula traces the history of that community, its institutions, and its response to crucial but little-known events like the expulsion of Polish Jews from Germany in 1938. The Jews of Pozna�������± however, is not only about destruction, but also about survival and the way that the memory of a lost world can endure as a cornerstone of individual identity. Pakula locates the remaining Jews of Pozna�������±, now living scattered around the world. He accompanies them as they reminisce, meet old friends, or return to walk again the streets of what will always be their city.
