Review of: Benny Mer, Smocza: A Biography of a Jewish Street in Warsaw
The history of Smocza, a Jewish Street in Warsaw, is not the story of the world-renowned figures, but rather of every person who ever lived or died there, including those who are lost to our collective memory.

Review Once There Was Warsaw by Ber Kutsher, transl. Gerald Marcus
Kutsher’s memoir is not just a memoir of his life but a memoir of a city long gone. Written originally in Yiddish in 1955 after Kutsher survived the Holocaust and left Poland, it reads more like a yizkor book than a personal memoir.
