The first comprehensive history of the German Jews on the eve of Hitler's seizure of power, this book examines both their internal debates and their relations with larger German society.

Above all, the liberal majority of patriotic and assimilationist Jews was forced to sharpen its self-definition by the onslaught of Zionist zealots who denied the -Germanness- of the Jews. This struggle for the heart and soul of German Jewry was fought at every level, affecting...

But all this changed irrevocably with the holocaust; Naves's generation is the first in two centuries whose roots are severed from the...
