As German Jews emigrated in the 19th and early 20th centuries andas
exiles from Nazi Germany, they carried the traditions, culture,and
particular prejudices of their home with them. At the same
time,Germany—and Berlin in particular—attracted both secular
and religiousJewish scholars from eastern Europe. They engaged in
vital intellectualexchange with German Jewry, although their
cultural and religiouspractices differed greatly, and they absorbed
many cultural practicesthat they brought back to Warsaw or took
with them to New York and TelAviv. After the Holocaust, German Jews
and non-German Jews educatedin Germany were forced to reevaluate
their essential relationship withGermany and Germanness as well as
their notions of Jewish life outsideof Germany. Among the first
volumes to focus on German-Jewish transnationalism,this
interdisciplinary collection spans the fields of history,
literature, film,theater, architecture, philosophy, and theology as
it examines the livesof significant emigrants. The individuals
whose stories are reevaluatedinclude German Jews Ernst Lubitsch,
David Einhorn, and GershomScholem, the architect Fritz Nathan and
filmmaker Helmar Lerski; andeastern European Jews David Bergelson,
Der Nister, Jacob Katz, JosephSoloveitchik, and Abraham Joshua
Heschel—figures not normallyassociated with Germany. Three-Way
Street addresses the gap in thescholarly literature as it opens up
critical ways of approaching Jewishculture not only in Germany, but
also in other locations, from the mid-19thcentury to the present.
