Maria Cieśla (The Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw), "Living Together, Living Apart? Microhistory of the Christian-Jewish Encounters in the early modern Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth"

The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth hosted the most significant Jewish community in the early modern world. Jews lived mainly in towns; they constituted a significant part of the country’s urban population. In those towns, Jews and Christians encountered each other on a daily basis. In a microhistorical case study of the town Sluck, those encounters will be analyzed. Questions about patterns of cooperation and conflicts will be asked during the lecture.



Maria Cieśla, Phd specialized in the early modern Jewish history of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth; she is especially interested in the Christian-Jewish encounters and the economic and social history of the Jews. She published numerous articles about the social history of the Jews in the Polish – Lithuanian Commonwealth
