Abstract

The text is a comprehensive and contextual discussion on Alina Mosak’s book entitled Żydowska Warszawa – żydowski Berlin. Literacki portret miasta w pierwszej połowie XX wieku. It attempts to place the book in the context of both widely understood Jewish studies and urban studies. The text also discusses the book in reference to the author’s previous works and activities, directly related to the caesura of the Shoah and to Central Europe as a place of specific urban phenomena. Finally, after Alina Molisak, it reminds of rich literature documenting the pre-Shoah life of both capitals, seen from different perspectives.
