Each of the three volumes of this magisterial work provides a
comprehensive picture of the realities of Jewish life in the Polish
lands in the period it covers, while also considering the
contemporary political, economic, and social context. Volume I:
1350 to 1881 provides a wide-ranging overview down to the
mid-eighteenth century, including social, economic, and religious
history. The period from 1764 to 1881 is covered in more detail,
with attention focused on developments in each country in turn,
especially with regard to the politics of emancipation,
acculturation, assimilation, and forced integration. Volume II:
1881 to 1914 explores the factors that had a negative impact on
Jewish life as well as the political and cultural movements that
developed in consequence: Zionism, socialism, autonomism, the
emergence of modern Hebrew and Yiddish literature, Jewish
urbanization, and the rise of popular Jewish culture. Galicia,
Prussian Poland, the Kingdom of Poland, and the tsarist empire are
all treated individually, as are the main cities. Volume III: 1914
to 2008 covers the interwar period, the Second World War, and the
Holocaust, including Polish–Jewish relations and the Soviet
record on the Holocaust. A survey of developments since 1945
concludes with an epilogue on the situation of the Jews since the
collapse of communism.
