The Jews in Warsaw: A History

Not until the 18th century did Jews finally gain the right to settle permanently in Warsaw, and the history of the Jewish community in the city since then has embraced the full range of Judaeo-European experience, which ended with Nazi violence, persecution in the Ghetto, and deportation to the death camps. But the Jews also brought commercial and cultural benefit to Warsaw. This collection of pieces, some of which were published in "Polin", covers the history of Warsaw Jews from the 18th century to World War II.
