zum Heft

Ein unverzichtbarer Beitrag für die Forschung … Abwechslungsreiche Beiträge zu Musik, Kunst, Geschichte, Philosophie, Recht und Jugendforschung. Namhafte Forscher und Nachwuchswissenschaftler schaffen es, die Aktualität der vielfältigen Lebensentwürfe des schon verschwunden geglaubten osteuropäischen Judentums aufzuzeigen. Nicht nostalgische Romantisierung sondern die Bedeutung des jüdischen Erbes für die Gegenwart stehen im Vordergrund des Bandes.
Alina Gromova, Jüdische Zeitung, 12.12.2008

Clearly focused, very useful, excellent overview!
Cornelia Aust, East European Jewish Affairs, 2/2009

Das Credo der Herausgeber ist, dass das osteuropäische Judentum nicht ausschließlich über die Schoa definiert werden darf.
Joseph Croitoru, FAZ, 1.10.2008
