A vibrant Jewish community flourished in Poland from late in the tenth century until it was virtually annihilated in World War II. In this remarkable anthology, the first of its kind, Harold B. Segel offers translations of poems and prose works--mainly fiction--by non-Jewish Polish writers. Taken together, the selections represent the complex perceptions about Jews in the Polish community in the period 1530-1990.

This review is from: Stranger in Our Midst: Images of the Jew in Polish Literature (Paperback)
A tremendous and revealing book. Most of its content is virtually unknown even by specialists in Jewish, Polish, or Eastern European affairs. The writers covered range from medieval and Renaissance to contemporary. In some ways, the book is a microcosm of European attitudes to Jews over the centuries.
