Conscious History: Polish Jewish Historians before the Holocaust.

- Abstract
Natalia Aleksiun's book, "Conscious History: Polish Jewish Historians before the Holocaust," explores the lives and work of a group of Polish Jewish historians before the Holocaust. The book examines their contributions to the field of history, their engagement with the larger communities they belonged to, and their efforts to shape a Polish Jewish identity. Aleksiun's research highlights the historians' involvement in public history, their roles as writers, speakers, politicians, teachers, and curators. The book also explores the complex relationship between Jewish identity and national belonging. While the book focuses on a specific group of historians in Poland, it raises broader questions about the role of history in shaping political life and the influence of personal backgrounds on scholarship.
