Jewish-Christian relations in the works of Sholem Asch (1880-1957)
Aleksandra Gluba-Pieprz
Abstract
The reflection on Jewish-Christian relations is one of the most significant topics of Sholem Asch’s work. The brilliant author of Yiddish literature, twice nominated for the Noble Prize was born in Kutno in 1880. In his autobiographical works, he mentioned his childhood in a small Jewish-Christian community. Asch noticed that this period influenced his literature, worldview, and his social commitment. For more than 50 years, until he died in 1957, he was a propagator of Judeo-Christian reconciliation, to which he exhorted through his texts.
