{"product_id":"one-step-toward-jerusalem-szandor-bacskai-9780815635437","title":"One Step Toward Jerusalem: Oral Histories of Orthodox Jews in Stalinist Hungary","description":"Originally published in 1997, Bacskai's powerful ethnography portrays the political, religious, and individual forces that came to bear on the Orthodox Jewish tradition as it struggled for survival in the aftermath of the Holocaust in Hungary. Jews who returned to their homes eagerly reestablished their close-knit community lives. However, they were greeted with hostility and faced daily prejudice. Following the fall of Hungarian democracy, the number of Orthodox Jewish congregations dramatically decreased. Those who remained struggled to combat antisemitism and antizionism. It is these individuals, the bearers of the Orthodox Jewish tradition, whom Bacskai celebrates and gives voice to in \u003ci\u003eOne Step toward Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e. Through detailed interviews and intimate profiles, Bacskai narrates the individual stories of survival and the collective story of Jews struggling to maintain a community despite significant resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sándor Bacskai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815635435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815635437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Sándor Bacskai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453405278463,"sku":"9780815635437","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f155783-d6a4-4214-a1ed-8927f3508451.jpg?v=1777300048","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-step-toward-jerusalem-szandor-bacskai-9780815635437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
