Episode 8: Diaspora, Now and Then: Historicising Ideas about Jewish Belonging
In the eighth episode of "Transit", Franziska Lamp talks with Sarah Cramsey about her understanding as a historian as well as about her book Uprooting the Diaspora. Jewish Belonging and the "Ethnic Revolution" in Poland and Czechoslovakia, 1936-1946. By analyzing a wide range of archival sources, Uprooting the Diaspora examines how ideas of Jewish belonging changed over time and discusses the role of key figures in the Polish and Czech governments-in-exile and in organizations such as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the World Jewish Congress in this process.
