In fact, many Jews continue to think of Poland as a bastion of anti-Semitism, since nearly the entire population of Polish Jewry was killed in the Holocaust. The reality is more complex: although German- occupied Poland was the site of great persecution towards Jews, it was also the epicenter of European Jewish life for centuries. Louise Steinman sets out to examine the burgeoning Polish-Jewish reconciliation movement through the lens of her own family's history, joining the ranks of Jews of Polish descent who are confronting both Poland's heroism and occupation-afflicted atrocities, and who are seeking to reconnect with their families' Polish roots. 538 Requires Boundless App. 600 10 Steinman, Louise|xTravel. 600 17 Steinman, Louise.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00147594 600 30 Steinman family. 600 37 Steinman family.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00219328 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 650 0 Jews, Polish|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Jews|zPoland|xSocial life and customs. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)|zPoland|xInfluence. 650 7 Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.)|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 Jews, Polish.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00983508 650 7 Jews|xSocial life and customs.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00983364 650 7 Travel.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01155558 651 0 Poland|vBiography. 651 7 Poland.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01206891 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 710 2 Boundless (Digital media service) |0_aBoundless_(Digital_media_service) 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0013372565|zFound on Boundless
