Piety and perseverance: Jews from the Carpathian Mountains. Foreword by Elie Wiesel
Verlag: New York: Sepher-Hermon Press, 1981, 1981
Dicker, Herman, 1914-1997. Piety and perseverance: Jews from the Carpathian Mountains. Foreword by Elie Wiesel. New York: Sepher-Hermon Press, 1981, xviii, 226pp., sewn PAPERBACK, very good copy but spine is faded by light. The Subcarpathian region which prior to World War I belonged to Hungary, after 1918 was subdivided between Czechoslovakia and Rumania. Throughout their 300 year history, the Jews of the region had been politically deprived, economically impoverished yet spiritually strong. They were organized in well-established communities, boasted of sound communal institutions, supported great yeshivas which in turn produced rabbis and scholars of note. All this came to a sudden and tragic end in the summer of 1944 through the eager collaboration of the German occupiers and the Hungarian authorities in the "Final Solution." Dr. Dicker, himself a native of the Carpathian region, encountered the remnants of the Carpathian Jewsas a frontline chaplain in the American army. In that capacity he was able to come to the aid of many survivors of the Holocaust in the liberated concentration camps of defeated Germany. While helping in their rehabilitation, he was fascinated to observe how tenaciously these survivors dung to their traditional way of life and how quickly many resumed their former Hasidic lifestyle. In PIETY AND PERSEVERANCE, the first book in English to deal with the Carpathian Jewish communities in a systematic fashion, the author traces their historical developments, describes their political, social and economic conditions, their institutions, movements and personalities. He follows the path of the survivors as they rebuild their liyps and institutions in the United States, both spiritual and economic; offers penetrating analyses of their divergent ideologies and pays tribute to their most outstanding personalities. In addition to Hasidic leaders, he also includes thumb-nail sketches of Rabbi Isaac Klein, Prof.J David Weiss Halivni and Elie Wiesel - all native sons of the Carpathians. 9780872030947 ISBN 0872030946.
