"Wodziński's book demonstrates that a photo is worth a thousand words and a map millions. This is the richest and most updated illustrated history of the entire process of emergence, growth, suffering, decimation in the Holocaust, and then the surprising renewal of Hasidism in modern times. A must for understanding this most vital aspect of Judaism."--Moshe Idel, author of Hasidism: Between Ecstasy and Magic

"Marcin Wodziński's Historical Atlas of Hasidism is an exceptional book. Impeccably researched, clearly written, and richly illustrated, it is essential reading for historians, religious studies scholars, and anyone interested in the Hasidic world. Unique in its genre, soon to be a classic."--Geneviève Zubrzycki, author of The Crosses of Auschwitz: Nationalism and Religion in Post-Communist Poland

"A pioneering, exciting, and tantalizing work. Historical Atlas of Hasidism is a major contribution to our knowledge and understanding of a highly significant religious movement."--Zvi Gitelman, author of Jewish Identities in Postcommunist Russia and Ukraine

"An unparalleled achievement. This original and innovative book blazes a trail through the history of Hasidism."--Adam Teller, author of Money, Power, and Influence in Eighteenth-Century Lithuania: The Jews on the Radziwill Estates
