Jewish Life in Germany: Memoirs from Three Centuries (The Modern Jewish Experience)

---

Author(s)Richarz
DescriptionThis fine work characterised by the Washington Post Book World as "he best group portrait of German Jewry that we have" traces the social history of the Jews in Germany over one hundred and fifty years from their emancipation beginnings in 1780 through to their eventual expulsion and destruction in 1944. It is a unique collection of autobiographical documents by ordinary individuals from all social strata, from city and country, and from various professions and political and religious groups. The selections emphasise two basic themes- the internal development of German Jews as a social group, and the changing situation of Jews within the general society.
