In Search of Jewish Community: Jewish Identities in Germany and Austria, 1918-1933

" . . . an excellent collection . . . well written and cogently argued." -David N. Myers

The history of Jews in interwar Germany and Austria is often viewed either as the culmination of tremendous success in the economic and cultural realms and of individual assimilation and acculturation, or as the beginning of the road that led to Auschwitz. By contrast, this volume demonstrates a reemerging sense of community within the German-speaking Jewish population of these two countries in the two decades after World War I.
