In this autobiography, he evoked a world that had been changed almost beyond recognition as a result of the First World War and was shortly to be completely obliterated by the Holocaust. In telling his story, Margoshes gives the reader important insights into the many-faceted Jewish life of Austro-Hungarian Galicia.We read of the Orthodox and the Enlightened, urban and rural life, Jews and their gentile neighbors, and much more. This book is an important evocation of an entire Jewish society and civilization and bears comparison with Yehiel Yeshaia Trunk's masterful evocation of Jewish life in Poland, Poyln.Judaism and Jewish life.JewsUkraineLʹvivBiographyJewsGalicia (Poland and Ukraine)Social life and customsOrthodox JudaismGalicia (Poland and Ukraine)HistoryGalicia (Poland and Ukraine)Economic conditions19th centuryLʹviv (Ukraine)BiographyElectronic books.JewsJewsSocial life and customs.Orthodox JudaismHistory.305.892/404779BMargoshes Joseph1866-1955.1031475Margolis Rebecca897602Robinson Ira802020MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457679503321A world apart2448884UNINA
