Stranger in Our Midst cover

A vibrant Jewish community flourished in Poland from late in the tenth century until it was virtually annihilated in World War II. In this remarkable anthology, the first of its kind, Harold B. Segel offers translations of poems and prose works—mainly fiction—by non-Jewish Polish writers. Taken together, the selections represent the complex perceptions about Jews in the Polish community in the period 1530-1990.

A useful collection of 44 essays, mainly from Polish literary texts, this chronologically arranged volume includes texts written almost exclusively by ethnic Poles from the 1530s to 1988.
