This issue of The Jewish Quarterly examines the efforts to recover and remember the Jewish world of Europe before the Holocaust. In Search of Lost Time brings to light recent discoveries of hidden troves of documents and artefacts, and the attempt to retrieve them and preserve the memory of the lives and culture they record. The issue includes an exploration of the remarkable life and work of a forgotten Polish poet, and an essay by novelist Rachel Kadish tracing the story of the intriguing figure and the hotel that played pivotal roles in her family's past. Also included is a review by Howard Jacobson of Joshua Cohen's The Netanyahus, as well as features, correspondence and more.
