The House at Ujazdowskie 16: Jewish Families in Warsaw After the Holocaust

On Tuesday, October 1, 2013, Karen Auerbach, Kronhill Lecturer at Monash University, spoke at YIVO about her new book, The House at Ujazdowskie 16: Jewish Families in Warsaw After the Holocaust. The book traces the history of ten families that were neighbors in one building as a case study of Jewish life in the postwar Polish capital. She shows how these families’ histories underscore the paths by which Polish Jews sought entrance into 19th and 20th century Polish society, and the ambiguous fate of those aspirations.
