Originally published in 1997, Bacskai's powerful ethnography
portrays the political, religious, and individual forces that came
to bear on the Orthodox Jewish tradition as it struggled for
survival in the aftermath of the Holocaust in Hungary. Jews who
returned to their homes eagerly reestablished their close-knit
community lives. However, they were greeted with hostility and
faced daily prejudice. Following the fall of Hungarian democracy,
the number of Orthodox Jewish congregations dramatically decreased.
Those who remained struggled to combat antisemitism and
antizionism. It is these individuals, the bearers of the Orthodox
Jewish tradition, whom Bacskai celebrates and gives voice to in One
Step toward Jerusalem. Through detailed interviews and intimate
profiles, Bacskai narrates the individual stories of survival and
the collective story of Jews struggling to maintain a community
despite significant resistance.
