It tells about the beginnings in the Middle Ages, delves into the unfolding of communal hierarchies and supra-communal representation in the early modern period, and reflects on the impact of the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and of growing state interference, as well as on the communist and post-communist periods. Translated into English from Hebrew, Latin, Yiddish, Polish, Russian, German, and other languages, in most cases for the first time, the sources illustrate communal life, the interdependence of civil and religious leadership, the impact of state legislation, Jewish-non-Jewish encounters, reform projects and political movements, but also Jewish resilience during the Holocaust.    \"The reviewed volume is a valuable publication reflecting the considerable work of the editors, authors and translators. It allows English-speaking readers to reach out to materials previously inaccessible linguistically. Most importantly, it allows to include and\/or introduce the history of Polish Jews into the didactics of universitites worldwide.\" Anna Michałowska-Mycielska, Studia Judaica (quote was translated from Polish)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments   Preface      1 The Medieval Period    Hanna Zaremska      2 Early Modern Poland-Lithuania, 1507–1795    Adam Teller      3 The Partitions of Poland-Lithuania, 1772–1815    Cornelia Aust      4 The Prussian Partition, 1815–1914    Michał Szulc      5 Jewish Self-Government in Galicia, 1815–1914    Wacław Wierzbieniec      6 The Kingdom of Poland, 1815–1915    Artur Markowski      7 Imperial Russia’s North-Western and South-Western Provinces, 1815–1914    Andrei Zamoiski      8 World War One and Independent Poland, 1914–1939    Piotr Kendziorek      9 Poland after the Second World War, 1944–2020    August Grabski with Piotr Grudka      10 Epilogue: Refractions of Jewish Self-Government under German Occupation in the Second World War    Marcin Urynowicz      Glossary      Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586054586711,"sku":"9789004191365","price":266.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sources-on-jewish-self-government-in-the-polish-lands-from-its-inception-to-the-present-9789004191365","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
