Postscripts --; Index; restricted access N2 - This book began in 2014 when Elżbieta Janicka approached Michael Steinlauf about the possibility of conducting a long, multifaceted interview with him. Such an endeavor is a Polish genre known as wywiad-rzeka, interview-river. Over the following years, Janicka and Steinlauf met in Warsaw and Philadelphia, recorded their conversations in Polish, and assembled them into a narrative which was published in a journal of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. This expanded version, an in-depth conversation on Polish-Jewish-American history. was translated by Steinlauf into English UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781644698419 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781644698419 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781644698419/original ER -
