In 1936, Joseph Margoshes (1866-1955), a writer for the New York
Yiddish daily, Morgen Journal, published a memoir of his youth in
Austro-Hungarian Galicia entitled Erinerungen fun mayn leben. In
it, he evoked a world which had been changed almost beyond
recognition as a result of the First World War, and was shortly to
be completely obliterated by the Holocaust. In telling his own
story, Margoshes gives the reader important insights into the
many-faceted Jewish life of Austro-Hungarian Galicia. We read of
the Orthodox and the Enlightened, urban and rural life, Jews and
their gentile neighbours, and much more. The book is an important
evocation of an entire Jewish society and civilization, and bears
comparison with Yehiel Yeshaia Trunk's masterful evocation of
Jewish life in Poland, Poyln.
