The Yizkor Book Project's own Joyce Field has written a review of the
second edition of ">from a Ruined Garden: The Memorial Books of Polish
Jewry." This thorough and articulate review will be published in a
forthcoming issue of "Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish
Studies." We have received permission to reprint it on our web site at
<http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/garden/review.html>.

Our web site also contains three complete chapters of ">from a Ruined
Garden" that Indiana University Press graciously provided to us prior to
the book's publication in June. This is truly a marvelous book, and one
that I hope everyone interested in Jewish life in the destroyed communities
of Eastern Europe will read.
