Shtetlekh were mainly found in the areas that constituted the 19th century Pale of Settlement in the Russian Empire, the Congress Kingdom of Poland, Galicia (Ukraine) and Romania. ***The Gorbals is an area in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, on the south bank of the River Clyde. By the late 19th century, it had become densely populated; rural migrants and immigrants were attracted by the new industries and employment opportunities of Glasgow. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the area became home to large numbers of migrants from the surrounding countryside, including the Scottish Highlands and rural Ireland, and immigrants from Italy, Eastern and Central Europe, to meet the needs of industrial capital. At its peak, during the 1930s, the wider Gorbals district (which includes the directly adjoined localities of Laurieston and Hutchesontown) had swollen in population to an estimated 90,000 residents.

This was previously published under the title The Warsaw Diary of Chaim A. Kaplan. Chaim Aron was born in Gorodishche, Belorussia. He received a talmudical education at the yeshivah of Mir and later studied at the Government Pedagogical Institute in Vilna. In 1902 he settled in Warsaw, where he founded a pioneering elementary Hebrew school, of which he was principal for 40 years. The diarist has an eye for detail as well for major trends. He is concerned with politics as well as with philosophy. Since the diary was his constant companion, Kaplan poured into it a great deal of his intellectual life - his thoughts, his information, and all the conversations he had with his friends. He is not detached from the scene; indeed, he apparently sought out all possible first-hand information and his descriptions deal with the mood of the time, the hour of occurrence. Many seeming contradictions are really the hourly changes of those fantastic times, with the result that at times he condemns the leaders of the Jewish community and at times praises them. He had no use for Adam Czerniakow, the president of the Judenrat whom he accused of usurping power at a time when the Warsaw Jewish community was powerless to elect a leader. Yet when Czerniakow committed suicide because he could no longer bring himself to deliver Jews to the Nazis, Kaplan wrote a noble eulogy of him, commenting: His end proves that he worked and strove for the good of his people, though not everything done in his name was praiseworthy. Derived from a Kirkus review: The Warsaw Diary of Chaim A. Kaplan, as edited here, covers the period from Germany's invasion of Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, to August 4, 1942. Then Kaplan, destitute and with few hopes left, awaited his turn to be "expelled," worried mainly now about the survival of the little stack of notebooks in which, in "clear and beautiful" Hebrew script "with no erasures," he had recorded the Jewish martyrdom. Kaplan, a distinguished teacher and Hebraicist, was born in White Russia, and one of the special virtues of his testimony is to be found in the fact that, although he had lived in Warsaw for 40 years, he identified neither with Poland nor with Polish Jewry. Thus, though his own fate is bound up with the tragedy all around him, he seems able to observe it with a degree of objectivity which makes his picture all the sharper and stronger. Dr. Katsh, who translated as well as edited the Diary, has done an excellent job of capturing the terrible spirit of the time and place in clear, tense, quiet prose. One could wish, however, that his account of the preservation and discovery of Kaplan's notebooks was more documented. Revised Edition, First Collier Books Edition.

Trade paperback. Condition: Good. 410, [2] p. maps. 21 cm. Occasional footnotes. Index. Previous owner's mailing label on half-title page. Embossed stamp on title page. Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8 inches. Translation of Megilat yisurin. Originally published as The Scroll of Agony, this is a classic depiction of the Holocaust. Carefully hidden and preserved in a kerosene can, twenty years after the annihilation of the Warsaw Ghetto, it was discovered. Now reissued with recently found entries spanning April 4, 1941 through May 2, 1942, and a new Preface by Abraham H. Katsh, it is an extraordinary first-person record of the Nazi occupation and destruction of Warsaw's Jewish community. From an on-line posting on Abraham I. Katsh: "Polish-born American educator and researcher who was a scholar of Judaica and was credited with the addition of modern Hebrew to the curricula of American colleges; during the Cold War he persuaded Soviet officials to allow him to study and microfilm--and thus make available to scholars--thousands of Jewish documents they had seized and hidden (b. Aug. 10, 1908, --d. July 21, 1998)." Excerpts from The Jewish Virtual Library biography "Kaplan, Chaim Aron (1880-1942), educator and diarist of the Holocaust. In 1902 Kaplan founded a pioneering elementary Hebrew school, of which he was principal for 40 years.Kaplan began a personal diary as early as 1933. This trained him for the mission he undertook at the beginning of World War II, to devote all his efforts to preserving a record for posterity.his intention of objectivity is carried out with remarkable tenacity, and with increasing dedication in the face of hardship, as the dreadful events increased his own physical and emotional suffering and his anguish at the mounting tragedy around him.The diary has been preserved in toto, having been smuggled out of the Warsaw Ghetto before its total destruction. In 1942, he gave it to a Jewish friend named Rubinsztejn, who was working daily at forced labor outside the ghetto. Rubinsztejn smuggled the notebooks out one by one. At the worst moments, on the brink of destruction, Kaplan sustained himself with the hope that the diary would be saved; the fate of his chronicle was his main concern. The diary has been translated into English, German, French, Danish, and Japanese. Revised Edition. First Collier Books Edition [stated]. Presumed First Printing.
