What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

After surveying Polish-Jewish history, relates the history of the shtetl of Brańsk: its beginnings, life during the Partitions, and the flourishing of Jewish life in the interwar period, along with the rise of antisemitism in the form of Polish nationalism and economic boycott. Ch. 5 (p. 201-240), "Shtetl: The Shoah", describes the establishment of the ghetto in the fall of 1941 and the transport of its residents to Treblinka in November 1942. Written sources, especially the "Yizkor Book" of Brańsk (1948), supplemented by interviews with survivors, highlight acts of both Polish informers and Polish rescuers of Jews. The efforts of Zbigniew Romaniuk, Polish historian of Brańsk Jewry and the author's guide, to salvage Jewish gravestones is seen as an act of reconciliation and a model for Poles and Jews. Notes periods of coexistence, but finds a lack of solidarity that, if present, could have unified a multicultural society. Such relations would not have halted the genocidal Nazi policies in Poland but they might have reduced the number of victims.
