Conscious History: Polish Jewish Historians before the Holocaust - Live on Zoom, Online - Center for Jewish History, New York, NY; 22 Sep 2020 4:00 PM (Event timezone is America/New_York)

Natalia Aleksiun in conversation with Samuel Kassow

Natalia Aleksiun and Samuel Kassow discuss the legacies of Jewish historians before the Holocaust who wrote both academic and popular history for their community and engaged in creating a sense of Polish-Jewish belonging, while also fighting for their rights as an ethnic minority. What shaped their sense of both scholarly and communal mission? How relevant is their work to writing Jewish history today and to our understanding of the modern Jewish experience in East Central Europe?
