Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry Volume 36

Jewish Childhood in Eastern Europe

Herausgeber: Polonsky, Antony; Aleksiun, Natalia; Guesnet, Francois

Beschreibung

Studying the experiences of children can offer an important corrective to how we think of the Jewish past. This volume proves the potential of this approach in east European contexts including local history; the history of education, charitable institutions, and medicine; and studies of emotion, gender history, and Polish-Jewish relations.
