Jewish Childhood in Krakow

More about the book

A microhistory of a place, a people, and daily life, Jewish Childhood in Kraków plumbs the decisions and behaviors of ordinary people in extraordinary times. It illuminates the complex relations between Jews and non-Jews in response to the Holocaust in Kraków and in German-occupied Poland more broadly. Ultimately, Jewish Childhood in Kraków is an effort both to understand the past and to reflect on the responses of young people during humanitarian crises.
