The Unlikely and Oft-Overlooked Story of the Rise and Fall of Jewish Eastern Europe / Shalom Boguslavsky
Eastern Europe is not just some place Jews used to live in. It is the place. In the modern era it became not only home of the majority of the world Jews, but also the most Jewish area in the world. Until it ceased to be. Then, the fascinating story of the Jewish Eastern Europe was narrowed down to a few stereotypes and myths.
Shalom Boguslavsky, a researcher who has a mental image of himself as riding on an elephant back, brings us a profound, comprehensive story that we already forgot. Come and join us in this special book launch.
