The second volume of the book explores the spiritual and lighter sides of the lives of Hungarian Jews in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on their upbringing, leisure activities, and religious practices. It presents historical photographs and text that provide a cross-section of Hungarian society, including the poor, middle-class, and wealthy, regardless of whether they lived integrated within the majority society or in separate communities. The book highlights the importance of Hungarian Jews as an integral part of the nation, regardless of their level of assimilation or religious affiliation. Through meticulous archival research, Koerner reconstructs the diverse lifestyles of Hungarian Jews using fragmentary information and surviving photos.
