The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization, Volume 8 : Crisis and Creativity Between World Wars, 1918-1939

An anthology of Jewish culture between the world wars, the editors’ selections convey the variety, breadth, and depth of Jewish creativity in those tempestuous decades. Despite—or perhaps because of—external threats, Jews vigorously fought over religion, politics, migration, and their relation to the state and to one another. The texts, translated from many languages, span a wide range of politics, culture, literature, and art. This collection examines what was simultaneously a tense and innovative period in modern Jewish history.
