Rezension zu „The Shtetl: New Evaluations “
"The quality of the essays is uniformly good, and after reading them, readers will be fully acquainted with the elusive concept of the shtetl. The essays are well documented." Choice "The book is a must-buy for all libraries." AJL Newsletter "Talk about stereotype busting! Not only are we forced to readjust our sights ... but in the best moments of Katz's collection we learn how to distinguish what is factually true from what is mythically imagined. Even more importantly, we begin to see ... the world of the shtetlach that the fog and night of the Holocaust forever destroyed." New Jersey Jewish News "[A]nyone looking to really understand the Jewish past, not just the romanticized version of it, will find this book a perfect antidote." The Reporter "This important and comprehensive collection provides a fascinating re-evaluation of one of the main locations of Jewish life in Eastern Europe down to the Holocaust and beyond." Antony Polonsky, Albert Abramson Professor of Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Brandeis University
