Visionaries from LVIV
Year 2023 marks 120 years of the Lazarus Jewish Hospital in Lviv. The richly illustrated book Visionaries from Lviv: The Story of a Jewish Hospital is a tribute to its place in once vibrant Jewish community of the city and in the society at large during the period 1903-1939. The book presents hospital's history and its architecture, its doctors, and its founder, Maurycy Lazarus, with the background of the Jewish life in Galicia at the time, and especially in Lviv. It also describes what preceded it - the state of medicine and medical education in Habsburg Galicia, Jewish access to the medical profession, as well as progress of women in general, and Jewish women in particular, in their quest to become medical doctors. Maurycy Lazarus's social, political, and philantropic activities are depicted using both publicly available and family records. The lives of his children, so different from his own, represent choices the young people were facing at the turn of the twentieth century.
Creativity and Conflict. Jews in Interwar Poland.
Creativity and Conflict reexamines interwar Polish Jewish history through the author's collected essays and scholarly responses of leading academicians. The work covers Polish-Jewish relations, Orthodox Judaism and the rabbinate, women's history, social history, and historiography, challenging prevalent myths about Jews in Poland.
The Ghost of Shakespeare
This volume collects the critical prose of award-winning writer Anna Frajlich. The Ghost of Shakespeare takes its name from Frajlich’s essay on Nobel Prize laureate Wisława Szymborska, but informs her approach as a comparativist more generally as she considers the work of major Polish writers of the twentieth century, including Zbigniew Herbert, Czesław Miłosz, and Bruno Schulz. Frajlich’s study of the Roman theme in Russian Symbolism owes its origins to her stay in the Eternal City, the second stop on her exile from Poland in 1969. The book concludes with autobiographical essays that describe her parents’ dramatic flight from Poland at the outbreak of the war, her own exile from Poland in 1969, settling in New York City, and building her career as a scholar and leading poet of her generation.
