Despite the obvious similarities, historians have mainly preferred to highlight the differences and emphasize instead the central European character of Hungarian Jewry. Collectively, these essays offer a different perspective.  The volume has five sections. The first compares Jewish acculturation and integration in the two countries, analysing the symbiosis of magnates and Jews in each country’s elites and the complexity of integration in multi-ethnic environments. The second considers the similarities and differences in Jewish religious life, discussing the impact of Polish hasidism in Hungary and the nature of ‘progressive’ Judaism in Poland and the Neolog movement in Hungary. Jewish popular culture is the theme of the third section, with accounts of the Jewish involvement in Polish and Hungarian cabaret and film. The fourth examines the deterioration of the situation in both countries in the interwar years, while the final section compares the implementation of the Holocaust and the way it is remembered. The volume concludes with a long interview with the doyen of historians of Hungary, István Deák.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ePOLAND AND HUNGARY: JEWISH REALITIES COMPARED\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003ci\u003eFrançois Guesnet, Howard Lupovitch, and Antony Polonsky\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJEWISH ACCULTURATION AND INTEGRATION\u003c\/b\u003eThe Magnate–Jewish Symbiosis: Hungarian and Polish Variations on a Theme\u003ci\u003eHoward Lupovitch\u003c\/i\u003eEthnic Triangles, Assimilation, and the Complexities of Acculturation in a Multi-ethnic Society\u003ci\u003eKristian Gerner\u003c\/i\u003eBetween Poland and Hungary: The Process of Jewish Integration from a Comparative Perspective\u003ci\u003eGuy Miron\u003c\/i\u003eThe Ashkenaz of the South: Hungarian Jewry in the Long Nineteenth Century\u003ci\u003eVictor Karády\u003c\/i\u003eJews and Poles, 1860–1914: Assimilation, Emancipation, Antisemitism \u003ci\u003eTheodore R.
