Together and Apart in Brzezany – Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians, 1919–1945

Autor Shimon Redlich
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 mai 2002
Based on interviews with Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians who lived in the small eastern Polish town of Brzezany before, during, and after World War II, together with extensive research into the historical record and his own childhood memories, historian Shimon Redlich reconstructs the changing relationships among Brzezany’s three ethnic groups. The book details the history of Brzezany from the pre-war decades when members of the three communities remember living relatively amicably “together and apart” when Brzezany was part of independent Poland, through the tensions of Soviet rule from 1939 to 1941 and the trauma of the Nazi occupation from 1941 to 1944, to the recapture of the town by the Red Army in 1945. Each chronological chapter is introduced by Redlich’s recollections, continues with an examination of the events as documented in local sources, and concludes with the observations of his interviewees. Historical and contemporary photographs of Brzezany and its inhabitants add immediacy to this fascinating excursion into history brought to life by those who lived through it, showing how events are remembered and interpreted often in very different ways.

Recenzii

“Professor Redlich has made a remarkable effort to transcend narrow ethnic perspectives in telling this sad and shocking story. . . . This is a moving and impressive book. . . . Its significance extends far beyond the context of local or regional history.” --Antony Polonsky“. . . by reconstructing the history/experience of Brzezany in Jewish, Ukrainian, and Polish memories [Redlich] has produced a beautiful parallel narrative of a world that was lost three times over. . . . a truly wonderful achievement.” Jan T. Gross“Redlich . . . is able to bring an open-minded and objective approach to his subject, coupled with sensitivity towards all three of the nationalities he deals with. Investigating a highly complex set of racial relationships, he reveals the various threads with a clarity that makes the work accessible to the general as well as the specialist reader.” Theo Richmond" . . . an important contribution to the literature on multi-ethnic relations in Eastern Europe . . .will make a useful classroom textbook for students of Polish and Ukranian modern history,East European Jewish studies and the holocaust, and the increasingly growing new field ofGalician studies."--SEER, 82, 3, 2004
