Book Reviews
We have long felt dissatisfied by the length of time it has taken to publish reviews in our annual. As a result, we have decided to post all our reviews on the web instead of publishing them in hard copy. This will enable us to discuss new works much nearer their actual date of publication.
We welcome the submission of reviews of any book or books connected with the history of the Jews in Poland-Lithuania or on Polish-Jewish relations. Reviews can be submitted in English, Polish, Russian, Hebrew or German. We are happy to translate reviews into English. The contact information for the review editors can be found on the Contact Page. Reviews can be sent to them or to Antony Polonsky, Brandeis University.
