This chapter introduces the content and the methodological premises of the book Jewish Medicine and Healthcare in Central Eastern Europe. Integrating academic disciplines from medical history to philology and Jewish studies, the book geographically concentrates on what is today Poland and Germany (and the former Russian, Prussian and Austro-Hungarian Empires). In this significant zone of ethnic, religious and cultural interaction Jewish, Polish, and German traditions and communities were more entangled, and identities were shared to an extent greater than anywhere else. Starting with early modern times and the Enlightenment, through the nineteenth century, up until the horrors of medicine in the ghettos and concentration camps, the book aims at collecting a variety of perspectives on the question of how Judaism and Jewish culture was dynamically related to medicine and healthcare.
