Abstract:
This study focuses on the phenomenon of the disappearance of the borders of the Jewish ghetto after the granting of equal rights to Jews in the middle of the 19th century. This was one of the essential features of Jewish history and an important component of the cultural interaction between Jewish and non- Jewish society. Through a local historical investigation, this study examines the expansion of Jewish settlement from the former ghetto into the Christian town, the demographic dynamics of Jewish society, the motives for Jewish migration from small towns to large cities, and the influence of antisemitism on emigration from ‘traditional’ Jewish communities.
Note:
Includes an appendix: "Data sources and background maps" (pp. 83-98).
