This Was Not America by Elbieta Janicka
From fleeing the Warsaw Ghetto and living underground to fighting for social justice in 1960s’ Seattle and helping smash the communist system in 1980s’ Poland, this is a narrative that erupts into critical moments in Jewish, Polish, and American history. It is also a story of the hidden anguish that accompanies and courses through that history, of the living haunted by the dead. The story is told through a conversation, often contentious, between Michael Steinlauf, historian of Polish-Jewish culture and child of Holocaust survivors, and the anthropologist and artist Elżbieta Janicka. It is illustrated with scores of photographs and documents.
Elżbieta Janicka is associate professor in the department of nationality studies at the Institute of Slavic Studies at the Polish Academy of Sciences. Tomasz Żukowski is professor of modern Polish literature and culture at the Institute of Literary Research at the Polish Academy of Sciences.
