This unique communal memoir presents a rare view of Eastern European Jewry, before, during, and after World War II. It is both the memoir of a child and of a lost Jewish community, an unvarnished story in which disputes, controversy, and scandal all play a role in capturing the true flavor of life in this time and place.\u003cbr\u003e             Nearly 14,000 Jews, one-third of the town’s population, resided in Tomaszow-Mazowiecki before World War II, many making their living as tailors and seamstresses. Only 250 of them survived the Holocaust, in part because of their skill with a needle and thread.\u003cbr\u003e             Engaging and highly accessible, \u003ci\u003eThe Tailors of Tomaszow \u003c\/i\u003eis a powerful resource for educators and a compelling read for anyone wishing to gain a deeper, more personal understanding of Eastern European Jewry and the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Texas Tech University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033987498224,"sku":"9780896728769","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780896728769_p0.jpg?v=1763856253","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780896728769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
