Out of the Ghetto is an account of the developing interrelationship
between the Jews and their Gentile environment unique in its
breadth and objectivity. He presents the story of Jewish
emancipation as a whole, from both Jewish and non-Jewish points of
view. If the results of the Jewish emancipation process differed
from country to country, the forces effecting the changes were
identical--the upheaval of the French Revolution, the loosening of
bonds between church and state, and the ideas of the Enlightenment.
It was those humanistic ideas which made possible the Jew's
transition from the ghetto to partial inclusion in society at large
and which attracted Jewish intellectuals to the "secular knowledge"
of languages, mathematics, philosophy, and the wider world beyond
their ancient learning.
