Abstract
Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry, Vol. 19, edited by Mieczyslaw B. Biskupski and Antony Polonsky. Portland: Littman Library for Jewish Civilization, 2007, published for the Institute for Polish Jewish Studies and the American Association for Polish Jewish Studies. 653 pp. $29.95. Polin has for more than two decades defined the field of Polish-Jewish studies. Volume Nineteen continues that tradition by opening up the area of PolishJewish relations in North America. volume is dedicated to the late Professor Stanislaus Blejwas, who played a key role in its planning and development and who was for many years a moving force in the National Polish AmericanJewish American Council. insightful article on the history of the council and its accomplishments in the volume under review was one of his last contributions to the field. editors of Volume Nineteen have dedicated more than two-thirds of its space to articles devoted to its main theme - Polish-Jewish relations in North America - primarily on the United States. exceptions are Tomasz Potworowski's interesting and surprisingly rich piece on The Evacuation of Jewish Polish Citizens from Portugal to Jamaica and Daniel Stone's solid article on Polish and Jewish press during the war in Winnipeg which sheds additional light about knowledge of the Holocaust in the West and the effect of the changing fortunes of war on relations between Poles and Jews. introductory article by the editors stands out as a model of its kind. It not only introduces the articles in the collection and ties them together, but also stands as one of the best contributions in the volume for its incisive weaving of the Polish and Jewish stories in America. articles on Poles and Jews in the United States break down into several broad categories. first, comprising three excellent articles by Ewa Morawska, the late Andrzej Kapiszewski, and John Radzilowski (full disclosure: John Radzilowski is my son) deal with Polish-Jewish relations in the United States before World War II, a much neglected topic. Radzilowski and Blejwas, in their contributions, touch on relations between Poles and Jews and African Americans. question of race and its effect on Polish-Jewish relations in America is a significant, if yet unexplored topic that deserves further attention in some future issue. A second theme is how Poles and Jews imagined and depicted each other. Here we have a fine series of essays that include Karen Majewski's imaginative study of 19rh-century Polish immigrant literature, Jonathan Krasner's acute analysis of the way American Jewish textbooks depicted the old homelands of American Jews and their Gentile neighbors, and Danusha Goska's groundbreaking study of Polish stereotypes in America. Although she sometimes overstates her conclusions given the evidence she is able to muster on this difficult and elusive topic, she has opened up a series of important questions about popular prejudices and the invidious stereotyping of Poles. …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
