Book excerpt: Originally published in 1996 in a joint Polish-English edition by Fundacja Judaica, Krakow. This English edition comprises an introduction and 19 collected essays and lectures written by Scharf, a Polish Jew born in Kracow (1914) who emigrated to England in the 1930s. Considered the "chronicler of Kracow Jewry," a virtually extinct world, he wrote the essays in both English and Polish, reflecting his particular perspective as a different kind of "survivor." Essay titles include "Krakow-blessed its memory," "The lesson of Auschwitz," "Rumkowski of the Lodz ghetto," and "Witnesses." Many originally appeared in The Jewish Quarterly (which Sharf co-founded). No index. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
