Focusing on the demographic behavior of Jews in Bohemia, the book explores their unique patterns of decreasing mortality and fertility beginning in the 18th century, a trend not seen among the gentile population. It examines this development against a backdrop of legal restrictions and life in ghettos, highlighting how Jews emerged as a demographic avant-garde in Europe, even before the onset of industrialization.
