Abstract:
Markus Nesselrodt’s revised version of his doctoral dissertation is a landmark study and will remain a beacon in the historiography. Well-written and conceptualized on a high level, it answers two questions: What was the experience of Polish Jews in the Soviet Union? How did the memory of this experience evolve over time? Nesselrodt’s study is path-breaking in many ways, but comprehensive it is not. A serious weakness is some of the statistics Nesselrodt uses, and scholars should be careful when applying his numbers. Despite this caveat, however, they are well advised to read this fine study. Indeed, it will be difficult for others who have worked parallel to Nesselrodt on this topic to better what he has provided. Future research as detailed in this review may build on Nesselrodt’s pioneering work.
