A study of how forced exile from 1930s Germany informed the scholarship of four German-speaking, Jewish intellectuals.

Recenzje

'Weinstein and Zakai's book makes a worthwhile contribution to our understanding of how German Jewish thinkers encountered historicism as a legacy of European thought that had to be opposed, or used with caution, because it seemed entangled in the crisis of Nazism.' Ben Wurgaft, The Journal of Modern History
