The German-Jewish Soldiers of the First World War in History and Memory

It is worth me stressing the breadth of the book. Temporal scope – It covers four distinct eras of modern Germany: late Imperial Germany and the First World War, the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and finally divided Germany after 1945. Geographical scope – The book is mainly centred on Germany, but also examines remembrance activity in the German-Jewish refugee communities in Britain, the USA and Israel. Subject matter – Although the book focuses on Germany’s Jewish population, it examines this group within wider German society. Unlike many studies of German Jewry which view German Jews as a distinct section of German history, this book views German Jews as Germans.
