Within the ghettos, a small but distinct group existed: the assimilated, acculturated, and baptized Jews. Unwilling to integrate into the Jewish community and unable to merge with the Polish one, they formed a group of their own, remaining in a state of suspension throughout the interwar period. In 1940, with the closure of the Jewish residential quarter in Warsaw, their identity was chosen for them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerson looks at what it meant for assimilated Jews to leave their prewar neighborhoods, understood as both a physical environment and a mixed Polish Jewish cultural community, and to enter a new, Jewish neighborhood. She reveals the diversity of this group and how its members' identity shaped their involvement in and contribution to ghetto life. In the first English-language study of this small but influential group, Person illuminates the important role of the acculturated and assimilated Jews in the history and memory of the Warsaw Ghetto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katarzyna Person\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.14w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815633341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatarzyna Person\u003c\/b\u003e is a researcher at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, Poland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40512718110835,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":59.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a150640f-c5d4-449e-9cf1-274b30edf97b.jpg?v=1665666991","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/assimilated-jews-in-the-warsaw-ghetto-1940-1943-9780815633341","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
