- Summary:
- This collection reflects the essential dynamism of Jewish political and social life in interwar Poland from its development following the reestablishment of Polish independence in 1918 through the Holocaust and focuses on one of the most politicized Jewish communities of interwar Poland: Eastern Galician Jewry and its capital in Lviv, which was then the third largest city in Poland. One should note the variety of designations given to the city of Lviv through history: 'Lemberg' under Austrian rule (1772-1918), it became 'Lwów' in the Polish Republic (1918-1939), 'Lvov' in the Soviet Union (1945-1991), and finally 'Lviv' in independent Ukraine (1991-). For clarity, the city will be most often referred to by its contemporary name, Lviv. This collection, which focuses on Galicia and the Lviv province in particular, gives an invaluable regional perspective on the development of Zionism and Jewish political life during the 1920s and 1930s and will thus certainly enlarge our view of the Jewish experience in Poland on the whole.
