SPARKS AMIDST THE ASHES The Spiritual Legacy of Polish Jewry

"For hundreds of years, Poland served as the epicenter of Jewish life. As a result of the Holocaust, however, Poland became a "Jewish Atlantis." Yet the majority of Jews in the world today have their genealogical roots in the historical lands of Poland. In "Sparks Amidst the Ashes", Byron Sherwin demonstrates how the unprecedented works of intellect and spirit produced during the Jewish "Golden Age" in Poland can provide contemporary Jews with the spiritual and intellectual resources required to ensure Jewish continuity in the present and future."
