Description
Winner of the 2020 Ernst Fraenkel Prize from the Wiener Holocaust Library
Jewish Childhood in Krak贸w is the first book to tell the history of Krak贸w in the second World War through the lens of Jewish children’s experiences. Here, children assume center stage as historical actors whose recollections and experiences deserve to be told, analyzed, and treated seriously.
Sliwa scours archives to tell their story, gleaning evidence from the records of the German authorities, Polish neighbors, Jewish community and family, and the children themselves to explore the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland and in Krak贸w in particular. A microhistory of a place, a people, and daily life, this book plumbs the decisions and behaviors of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
Offering a window onto human relations and ethnic tensions in times of rampant violence, Jewish Childhood in Krak贸w is an effort both to understand the past and to reflect on the position of young people during humanitarian crises.
