What survived are legends of origin that early chroniclers, historians, writers, and folklore scholars transcribed, thus contributing to their preservation. According to the legendary chronicles Jews resided in Poland for a millennium and developed a vibrant community. Haya Bar-Itzhak examines the legends of origin of the Jews of Poland and discloses how the community creates its own chronicle, how it structures and consolidates its identity through stories about its founding, and how this identity varies from age to age. Bar-Itzhak also examines what happened to these legends after the extermination of Polish Jewry during the Holocaust, when the human space they describe no longer exists except in memory. For the Polish Jews after the Holocaust, the legends of origin undergo a fascinating transformation into legends of destruction.Jewish Poland-Legends of Origin brings to light the more obscure legends of origin as well as those already well known. This book will be of interest to scholars in folklore studies as well as to scholars of Judaic history and culture. 606 $aJews$zPoland$xOrigin$vFolklore 606 $aJewish legends$zPoland 606 $aJews$zPoland$vFolklore 606 $aJewish legends$zPoland$xHistory and criticism 610 $aSocial groups: religious groups & communities 615 0$aJews$xOrigin 615 0$aJewish legends 615 0$aJews 615 0$aJewish legends$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a398.2/089/9240438 700 $aBar-Yitsh?ak?$b H?ayah$0873481 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524709303321 996 $aJewish Poland$93650802 997 $aUNINA
