Jewish-Polish Coexistence, 1772-1939

This bibliography provides comprehensive coverage of Polish-Jewish relations from the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1772 up to the outbreak of World War II in 1939. It demonstrates the immensity of the writing dedicated to Jewish-Polish coexistence during the last two centuries. The rich heritage of this coexistence, during times of partitions and interwar independence, is presented here in an incisive documentary collection of sources for academic research. These sources are entered topically under thirty-four distinct chapter headings that represent a wide variety of subject matter, including cultural activity, labor and political movements, social reform, religion, and demography.
