𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒

This is a miscellaneous issue, publishing four research articles and a review essay, covering several topics in modern Jewish history, focusing primarily on the first half of the twentieth century. The underlying thread of these articles may be the calamitous events that affected Jews in Europe, given the disrupting impact of war and violence throughout the first part of the century. Space is also a recurring theme, both in the form of movement—through migration, exile or displacement—and in the form of confinement and segregation.
