| Summary: | A number of recent works documenting the postwar return of Jews to their homes have shaped understandings of antisemitic violence and more quotidian hostility in Eastern Europe in the wake of World War II. In Beyond Violence, Anna Cichopek-Gajraj focuses our attention away from the well-known episodes and onto the everyday encounters awaiting survivors in Poland and Slovakia. At the center of the book lies the dynamic relationships among the survivors, their Gentile neighbors, and the new state authorities, a perspective that highlights the broader social, political, and economic contexts of return. |
