..".a scholarly yet readable book...pioneering work" Journal of
Jewish Studies
Based on numerous in-depth and personal interviews with members
of three generations, this is the first comprehensive study of
German-Jewish refugees who came to England in the 1930s. The author
addresses questions such as perceptions of Germany and Britain and
attitudes towards Judaism. On the basis of many case studies, the
author shows how the refugees adjusted, often amazingly
successfully, to their situation in Britain. While exploring the
process of acculturation of the German-Jews in Britain, the author
challenges received ideas about the process of Jewish assimilation
in general, and that of the Jews in Germany in particular, and
offers a new interpretation in the light of her own empirical data
and of current anthropological theory.
Marion Berghahn, Independent Scholar and Publisher, studied
American Studies, Romance Languages and Philosophy at the
universities of Hamburg, Freiburg and Paris. These subjects,
together with history, later on formed the basis of her scholarly
publishing program.
