Return of the Jew: Identity Narratives of the Third Post-Holocaust Generation of Jews in Poland

by Katka Reszke

Return of the Jew traces the appearance of a new generation of Jews in Poland that followed the fall of the communist regime. Today more and more Poles are discovering their Jewish heritage and beginning to seek a means of associating with Judaism and Jewish culture. Reszke analyzes this new generation, addressing the question of whether there can be authentic Jewish life in Poland after fifty years of oppression. Based on a series of interviews with Jewish Poles between the ages of 18 and 35, her study provides an illuminating window into the experience of being, and for many becoming, Jewish in these unique circumstances.

Nie spodziewałam się, że ta książka tak mnie zaciekawi. Przeczytałam ją błyskawicznie, a co jeszcze ważniejsze, okazała się naprawdę przydatna dla moich badań.

Świetna książka, szczególnie interesująca ze względu na polskie podwórko, dotyczące powojennych pokoleń polskich Żydów. Polecam.
