Reviews

This excellent collection of essays pays a fitting tribute to Antony Polonsky who has been instrumental to the field of Polish-Jewish history for almost four decades as a teacher, scholar, and founding editor of POLIN: Studies in Polish Jewry...This complex and dynamic history [of Warsaw] is analysed in twenty-four chapters that range from the economic history of the early modern Jewish mercantile elite to the cultural history of clothing decrees to the religious history of Warsaw's rabbis to the intellectual history of the city's Jewish historians during the interwar era. Students and established scholars wishing to conduct research on Warsaw's Jewish history will turn to this volume as an indispensable first source for some of the most recent research in the field. -- Michael Meng, Clemson University, ZfO JECES 66 (2017) 2, pp. 261-263.
