The Shtetl: New Evaluations - Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies Series

Dating from the sixteenth century, there were hundreds of shtetls - Jewish settlements - in Eastern Europe that were home to a large and compact population that differed from their gentile, mostly peasant neighbors in religion, occupation, language, and culture. This volume takes a look at this most important facet of East European Jewish life.
