Jewish Roots in Poland

Jewish Roots in Poland: Pages from the Past and Archival Inventories is a book created by genealogist Miriam Weiner and co-published by The Miriam Weiner Routes to Roots Foundation and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.

The book also features document examples, maps, antique postcards depicting towns and daily life, and modern-day photographs.

In a detailed analysis, Blatt found that the book provided information not previously available to genealogists.

She sees the experience of discovering these documents as being both painful as well as inspiring a feeling of exhilaration, tied to survival.

[9] The New York Times highlighted the book's importance as an information resource as well as the feelings of poignancy and nostalgia captured in the many images throughout the work.

Miriam Weiner's non-profit Routes to Roots Foundation has made excerpts from the book available on the organization's website
