In the Midst of Civilized Europe is an extensively researched account of a forgotten history.

The book explores the resilience of Jewish life amidst historical adversities such as Stalinist repression and the Holocaust. Through personal narratives, it highlights the enduring traditions of family, religious practices, education, and work that have persisted despite official antisemitism. These individual remembrances serve as a testament to the survival and continuity of Jewish culture and identity, rooted in the experiences of the shtetl.
