From the sixteenth century until 1939, Eastern Europe was "the cradle of almost every important Jewish cultural, religious, and national movement and the area where Jewish faith, thought, and culture flourished unsurpassed.'

Lucy Dawidowicz has assembled a remarkable collection of documents from the culture - many translated into English for the first time - including writings by Bergson, Chagall, Weizmann, and Trotsky.

Lucy S. Dawidowicz is the author of The War Against the Jews 1933-1945 and On Equal Terms: Jews in America, 1881-1981.
