Jewish Roots in Poland. Pages from the Past and Archival Inventories

Miriam Weiner's Jewish Roots in Poland is a tour-de-force. This magnum opus is the most comprehensive work ever published on Polish-Jewish genealogy. It is a work of great interest for genealogists, historians, travelers, or anyone interested in Polish-Jewish culture. A lavishly illustrated volume, you'll want to proudly display it as a coffee-table book, as well as mine the incredible depth of its comprehensive inventories and fantastic reference material for genealogical research. The unique value of this book is that it disproves once and for all the commonly-held bubba-meisa that "all the records were destroyed" in Poland. This book shows that millions of records do exist -- Here is an inventory, in black and white. The book is in seven chapters, plus several appendices. An eager genealogist is tempted to jump right to the "Archival Inventories" chapter -- but the other sections contain fascinating and valuable information.
