Scholarship on the civilization of Polish Jews has tended to focus on
elite culture and canonical literature. Even modern Yiddish culture has
generally been approached from the perspective of ‘great works’.
This special issue on Jewish popular culture focuses on relatively less
explored but historically vital forms of culture that have previously
been relegated to the margins of scholarly interest. Most of the articles
look at the period before the Second World War, but there are also several
studies of the traces of this culture in the contemporary world. The volume
is intended to help reconfigure our understanding of Polish Jewish civilization
in its true richness and variety.
Michael C. Steinlauf is Associate Professor of History at Gratz
College, Pennsylvania.
Antony Polonsky is the first holder of the Albert Abramson Chair
of Holocaust Studies, a joint appointment held in the Department of Near
Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University and the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.
