Описание: The Posen Library's groundbreaking anthology series--called "a feast of Jewish culture, in ten volumes" by the Chronicle of Higher Education--explores in Volume 9 global Jewish responses to the years 1939 to 1973, a time of unprecedented destruction, dislocation, agency, and creativity"An extensive look at Jewish civilization and culture from the eve of World War II to the Yom Kippur War . . . It's a weighty collection, to be sure, but one that's consistently engaging . . . An edifying and diverse survey of 20th-century Jewish life."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Readers seeking primary texts, documents, images, and artifacts constituting Jewish culture and civilization will not be disappointed. More important, they might even be inspired. . . . This set will serve to improve teaching and research in Jewish studies at institutions of higher learning and, at the same time, promote, maintain, and improve understanding of the Jewish population and Judaism in general."--Booklist, starred review The ninth volume of The Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization covers the years 1939 to 1973, a period that editors Kassow and Roskies call "one of the most tragic and dramatic in Jewish history." Organized geographically and then by genre, this book details Jewish cultural and intellectual resources throughout this era, particularly in political thought, literature, the visual and performing arts, and religion. This volume explores worldwide Jewish perceptions of momentous events that transpired in the mid-twentieth century and how Jews redefined themselves across regions throughout an era rife with tragedy, displacement, and dispersion. The breadth and depth of this work goes beyond any comparable collection, with detailed insights and sharp focus to accompany its breathtaking scope. A major, ten-volume anthology project more than a decade in the making, the Posen Library is an ideal reference tool for scholars, teachers, and students at all levels.

Описание: A landmark project to collect, translate, and transmit primary material from a momentous period in Jewish culture and civilization
This volume covers what Elisheva Carlebach describes as a period "in which every aspect of Jewish life underwent the most profound changes to have occurred since antiquity." Organized by genre, this extensive yet accessible volume surveys Jewish cultural productions and intellectual innovations during these dramatic years, particularly in literature, the visual and performing arts, and intellectual culture. The wide-ranging collection includes a diverse selection of sources created by Jews around the world, translated from a dozen languages. During a tumultuous time of changing borders, demographic shifts, and significant Jewish migration, this anthology explores the approaches of Jews to the intertwining ideals of enlightenment and emancipation, "the very foundation of Jewish experience in this period."
