Summary/Abstract: This book is intended as an introduction. It aims to strengthen the memory of the history and way of life of Eastern European Jews—who are part of our own history—and to spark curiosity and encourage further engagement with the subject. To bring this often "alien" world to life, the book draws on literary accounts, even though these—as creative interpretations—do not directly mirror reality.
