Based on more than thirty years archival research, this history
of the Jewish and German-Jewish community of Hamburg is a unique
and vivid piece of work by one of the leading historians of the
twentieth century. The history of the Holocaust here is fully
integrated into the full history of the Jewish community in Hamburg
from the late eighteenth century onwards. J.A.S. Grenville draws on
a vast quantity of diaries, letters and records to provide a macro
level history of Hamburg interspersed with many personal stories
that bring it vividly to life. In the concluding chapter the
discussion is widened to talk about Hamburg as a case study in the
wider world.
This book will be a key work in European history, charting and
explaining the complexities of how a long established and well
integrated German-Jewish community became, within the space of a
generation, victims of the Nazi Holocaust.
