Reviews

"Professor Redlich has made a remarkable effort to transcend narrow ethnic perspectives in telling this sad and shocking story... This is a moving and impressive book... Its significance extends far beyond the context of local or regional history." --Antony Polonsky "... by reconstructing the history/experience of Brzezany in Jewish, Ukrainian, and Polish memories [Redlich] has produced a beautiful parallel narrative of a world that was lost three times over... a truly wonderful achievement." Jan T. Gross "Redlich ... is able to bring an open-minded and objective approach to his subject, coupled with sensitivity towards all three of the nationalities he deals with. Investigating a highly complex set of racial relationships, he reveals the various threads with a clarity that makes the work accessible to the general as well as the specialist reader." Theo Richmond " ... an important contribution to the literature on multi-ethnic relations in Eastern Europe ... will make a useful classroom textbook for students of Polish and Ukranian modern history, East European Jewish studies and the holocaust, and the increasingly growing new field of Galician studies."--SEER, 82, 3, 2004
