Index. One of the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry series. Some half a million Jews lived in Germany when Hitler came to power in 1933. Over the next decade, thousands would flee. Among these refugees, teens and young adults formed a remarkable generation. Born between 1914 and 1928 (approximately), they were old enough to appreciate the loss of their homeland and the experience of flight, but often young and flexible enough to survive and even flourish in new environments. Many would go on to make great contributions to their new countries and to the world. More

Warsaw: Jacek Santorski & Co. Agencia Wydawnicza, Forum for Dialogue Among Nations, American Jewish Committee, 2006. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 259, [5] pages. Editor's Note. Preface by Wladyslaw Bartoszewski. Introduction by David A. Harris. Covers have flaps. Illustrated covers. Illustrations (many in color). The book “Difficult Questions in Polish-Jewish Dialogue” is a collaborative work of Forum for Dialogue and the American Jewish Committee. The project was created after analyzing over one thousand questionnaires from Poland, US, Israel, Canada and Australia. In them, young Poles and Jews posed questions regarding the past, present and future of Polish/Jewish relations. Editors selected 50 most difficult and most frequently asked question for the book and had experts from Poland, Israel and the United States provide the answers. Where did Jews in Poland come from? How could it be that Poles allowed Germans to build concentration camps in their neighborhoods? Why has the Israeli army shelled districts where Palestinian civilians live? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the book Difficult Questions in Polish-Jewish Dialogue. ”We set out to identify which themes present the greatest difficulty for dialogue among young Poles and Jews. But we realized the difficulty these young people had in even formulating many of the “difficult questions” they would have liked answered; they worried that even putting them into words might offend the “other side.” When such questions did arise in the course of a Polish/Jewish encounter, the result was open contention – some people became agitated, others burst into tears.”– explain book editors in the preface.
