"This fine collection of essays by leading scholars covers a broad
scope of German-Jewish responses to Nazi policies ranging from
self-help and everyday endurance to the Zionist alternative and
racial recategorization to avoid deportation. The accessible style
and continuity make this volume suitable for undergraduate or
advanced classes on German or Jewish history or on the Holocaust
itself. The excellent documentary annex makes the book especially
helpful." . Norman JW Goda, Norman and Irma Braman Professor of
Holocaust Studies, University of Florida
German Jews faced harsh dilemmas in their responses to Nazi
persecution, partly a result of Nazi cruelty and brutality but also
a result of an understanding of their history and rightful place in
Germany. This volume addresses the impact of the anti-Jewish
policies of Hitler's regime on Jewish family life, Jewish women,
and the existence of Jewish organizations and institutions and
considers some of the Jewish responses to Nazi anti-Semitism and
persecution. This volume offers scholars, students, and interested
readers a highly accessible but focused introduction to Jewish life
under National Socialism, the often painful dilemmas that it
produced, and the varied Jewish responses to those dilemmas.
