The Tents of Jacob, the Tabernacles of Israel.
Diverse local Israelite Worlds in local historical Perspective in 19th–20th Century Hungary
Volume of Studies
(ed. Attila Jakab)

The volume takes a social-historical approach to the reality of local/regional coexis- tence between Jewish and non-Jewish populations. The primary aim is to present the coexistence that was fractured during the Jewish Laws (1938-1942) and then destroyed in 1944, in the Holocaust, highlighting the social and economic con- sequences of this tragedy.
Studies focusing on Jewish local history in different time periods, on theoretical approaches – identity, integration and antisemitism; Hungarian-Jewish relations in Transylvania; the lack of specialists caused by the deportations; the museumi- sation of the paths of tradition – in addition to the micro-histories of various localities (Kunszentmárton, Körmend, Győr, Vecsés, Kassa, Kiskunhalas, Gyoma, Pécs, Székely-föld, Komárom, Nagyvárad, Kunszentmárton), they draw attention to the importance of local history, the incorporation of which into macro-history could be one of the main lines of future historical research.
