This book explores the variety of social and political phenomena
that combined to the make the First World War a key turning point
in the Jewish experience of the twentieth century. Just decades
after the experience of intense persecution and struggle for
recognition that marked the end of the nineteenth century, Jewish
men and women across the globe found themselves drawn into a
conflict of unprecedented violence and destruction. The frenzied
military, social, and cultural mobilisation of European societies
between 1914 and 1918, along with the outbreak of revolution in
Russia and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East
had a profound impact on Jewish communities worldwide. The First
World War thus constitutes a seminal but surprisingly
under-researched moment in the evolution of modern Jewish history.
The essays gathered together in this ground-breaking volume explore
the ways in which Jewish communities across Europe and the wider
world experienced, interpreted and remembered the 'war to end all
wars'.
