Pinsk boasted both traditional rabbinic scholars and famous Hasidic figures, and over time became an international trade emporium, a center of the Jewish Enlightenment, a cradle of Zionism and the Jewish Labor movement, and a place where Orthodoxy struggled vigorously with modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe two volumes of Pinsk history were originally part of a literature created by Jews who survived the Holocaust and were determined to keep in memory a vital world that flourished for half a millennium. In this case, the results are extraordinary: no town of Eastern Europe has been described in such fascinating detail, invaluable to Jewish and non-Jewish historians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the second volume of this two-volume collection, see \u003ci\u003eThe Jews of Pinsk, 1881-1941\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMordechai Nadav is a leading Israeli scholar of Eastern European Jewry.
