Title: A World Apart Condition: New Subtitle: A Memoir of Jewish Life in Nineteenth Century Galicia EAN: 9781934843635 ISBN: 9781934843635 Publisher: Academic Studies Press Format: Paperback Release Date: 18/09/2008 Description: In 1936, Joseph Margoshes (1866-1955), a writer for the New York Yiddish daily "Morgen Journal", published a memoir of his youth in Austro-Hungarian Galicia entitled "Erinerungen fun mayn Leben". In this autobiography, he evoked a world that had been changed almost beyond recognition as a result of the First World War and was shortly to be completely obliterated by the Holocaust. In telling his story, Margoshes gives the reader important insights into the many-faceted Jewish life of Austro-Hungarian Galicia. We read of the Orthodox and the Enlightened, urban and rural life, Jews and their gentile neighbours, and much more. This book is an important evocation of an entire Jewish society and civilisation and bears comparison with Yehiel Yeshaia Trunk's masterful evocation of Jewish life in Poland, Poyln.
