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. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aJews$zUkraine$zL?viv$vBiography 606 $aJews$zGalicia (Poland and Ukraine)$xSocial life and customs 606 $aOrthodox Judaism$zGalicia (Poland and Ukraine)$xHistory 607 $aGalicia (Poland and Ukraine)$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 607 $aL?viv (Ukraine)$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aOrthodox Judaism$xHistory. 676 $a305.892/404779 676 $aB 700 $aMargoshes$b Joseph$f1866-1955.$01031475 701 $aMargolis$b Rebecca$0897602 701 $aRobinson$b Ira$0802020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457679503321 996 $aA world apart$92448884 997 $aUNINA
