It tells the story of conflict and compromise, early on between Hassidim and Mitnagdim, and later between traditionalists and modernists (Zionists, socialists, etc.), and between Jews and non-Jews, during tumultuous historic events: the partition of Poland in the late 18th century; tsarist oppression and pogroms in the 19th; war and occupation by both Russians and Germans in both World Wars and the occupation, escape to Russia by some Jews, and final extermination of the remaining Jews by the Nazis in World War II. The book also discusses schools, yeshivot, charities, political parties, leading rabbis and lay leaders. Translated from Hebrew and edited by a descendant of one of the town's oldest families, it also contains additional new material (photographs, maps, and explanatory footnotes) that provides a broader picture of this once prominent Jewish community"--Back cover. 530 Electronic version(s) available online. 650 0 Jews |zPoland |zOstrów Mazowiecka |xHistory. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zPoland |zOstrów Mazowiecka. 651 0 Ostrów Mazowiecka (Poland) |xEthnic relations. 655 7 Memorial books (Holocaust) |2local 700 1 Schiff, Gary S., |d1947- |etranslator, |eeditor. 710 2 JewishGen, Inc., |eissuing body. 710 2 Living Memorial to the Holocaust-Museum of Jewish Heritage. 856 41 |3Electronic version(s) available. |zHosted by USHMM |uhttps://digitalarchive-assets.ushmm.org/pdf/bib269427_001_001.pdf 856 42 |uhttps://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/translations.html |zSee also JewishGen website for availability of transcription 880 10 |6240-01/rאוסטרוב מאזובייצק. |lEnglish 852 0 |bscstacks |hDS134.66.O847 |iL4813 2017 852 |bebook
