Hunger for Printed Word

A narrative of how libraries functioned as an important cultural life line for East European Jews during the years before World War II and beyond. Shavit narrates the stories of Jewish youth and families whose access to secondary education, particularly in Poland, was closed, how libraries became the center of education during those pre-war years and an opportunity for escape and resistance during Nazi occupation. The volume details these functions in the five largest ghettos of Lodz, Warsaw, Kovno, Vilna, and Theresinstadt.
