Review
"Lucy Dawidowicz's memoir comprises several books for the price of one: it portrays Jewish Vilna as the plucky American student encountered it in 1938, describes the fate of Jewish cultural treasures as she helped recover them after the War, and exposes the mind and spirit of an intrepid historian-in-the making. Sinkoff's introductory profile of the author is a bonus."--Ruth R. Wisse"Harvard University" (04/09/2008)
"Lucy Dawidowicz was an historian of monumental importance, best known for her classic The War Against the Jews. But she was also a vital chronicler of the world of European Jewry before its destruction. Nancy Sinkoff performs a double service by reintroducing a new generation of readers to Dawidowicz's compelling memoir of Vilna on the brink of destruction and, with her superb introduction, rounding out a portrait of the historian as a young woman. By placing Dawidowicz's personal evolution in its historical and cultural context, Sinkoff has herself performed a grand act of historical reclamation."--Jonathan Rosen"author of The Talmud and the Internet: A Journey Between Worlds" (05/08/2008)
