Chapter One Province of Universality: Vertov before the War (1896-1914) Up just as much out of fathomless workings fermented and thrown, A limp blossom or two, torn, just as much over waves floating, Drifted at random. Whitman, “As I Ebb’d With the Ocean of Life” Legend has it that classics teachers in the old German gymnasia would always begin the school year by telling their students, “The first thing to know about the ancient Greeks, is that they didn’t know they were ‘the ancient Greeks.’” This excellent lesson is notoriously difficult to absorb, partly because of what seems to be a near-natural human propensity to conceive of the past in narrative terms – complete with protagonists, acts and scenes, and Aristotelian beginnings, middles and ends – but also because fully accepting the classicist’s advice would mean carrying its implications forward to our own time, thereby compromising in advance any effort we might make to understand who “we” (in our “historical era”) are. Nor can the problem be solved through ironic resignation to time’s peripeties, as if to inoculate ourselves against the notorious errors and fabulating hubris of those afflicted with an over-intense – in the Soviet case, a militantly intense – consciousness of history. For the old storyteller, endlessly sifting out past from present from future, reasserts his prerogatives as soon as we rewrite those earlier imprudent narrators, not as “history’s masters” (or “constructors,” or “creators”), but as “history’s fools.” Copyright 2016 John MacKay.

Lawrence EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Shana Penn DESIGN Gino Squadrito, LaserCom Design ISBN 978-83-62887-00-2 Printed in USA 1,000 Years of Jewish Life in Poland A TIMELINE Published by In cooperation with the Taube Center for the Renewal of Jewish Life in Poland and the Honorary Consulate for the Republic of Poland in the San Francisco Bay Area The Hebrew word for Poland is Polin (understood to mean “rest or dwell here”) and indeed, throughout much of Polish Jewish history, Jews have found in Poland a place to rest, to make their homes and to feel at home. Polish Jewish history, sometimes fraught with trauma and at other times filled with extraordinary creativity and cultural achievement, is an ongoing story of intertwined narratives. This Timeline introduces key dates, personalities and trends that illustrate the richness and the complexities of 1,000 years of Polish Jewish life. I. POLIN: JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN POLAND 965-1569 965-966 A Jewish merchant from Spain, Ibrahim ibn Yakub, travels to Poland and writes the first descriptions of the country. During the 10th and 11th centuries, Jewish merchants and artisans settle in Poland. Persecuted and expelled from Western Europe, Jews find refuge and a haven under the Piast and Jagiellonian dynasties.
