Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, many Polish Jews lived in shtetls, villages and small towns, but little of what we know about shtetl life comes from historical research. Topics in this volume include the role of the shtetl in integration, their existence under Russian/USSR and Polish rule, how they changed culturally in the early twentieth century, how they maintained their social relationships, and how they were portrayed in literature. Contributors offer work on correspondence from shtetl residents, the 1936 incidents in Przytyk, and Jewish prisoner labor in Warsaw after the Ghetto uprising.

Book excerpt: A survivor of the Holocaust travels from U.S. to Bransk, Poland, the "shtetl" (village) from which his parents were dragged to Treblinka's gas chambers, in a quest to uncover his roots. He is joined by a young Polish gentile historian who wishes to discover the mystery of the lost Jewish community. The townspeople give a haunting account of the disappearance of the Jews from Bransk, but none takes responsibility. Today in Bransk there are no Jews, and many residents choose to forget. The young Polish historian of Part I, who has an apparent passion for Jewish history, comes to America and meets American Jews whose ancestors came from Bransk to build a new life.

Download or read book Human Rights and Oppressed Peoples written by Georg Brandes and published by University of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georg Brandes was known as the "Father of the Modern Breakthrough" for his influence on Scandinavian writers in the late nineteenth century. A prominent writer, thinker, and speaker, he often examined intellectual topics beyond the literary criticism he was best known for. In this collection, William Banks has translated a number of Brandes's pieces that engage in the concerns of oppressed peoples. By collecting, annotating, and contextualizing these works, Banks reintroduces Brandes as a major progenitor of thinking about the rights of national minorities and the colonized. Human Rights and Oppressed Peoples includes thirty-five essays and published speeches from the early twenty-first century on subjects as diverse as the Boxer Rebellion, displaced peoples from World War I, Finland's Jewish population, and imperialism. This collection will interest interdisciplinary scholars of human rights as well as those who study Scandinavian intellectual and literary history.
