The ferocity of the Nazi attack upon the Jews took many by
surprise. Volkov argues that a new look at both the nature of
antisemitism and at the complexity of modern Jewish life in Germany
is required in order to provide an explanation. While antisemitism
had a number of functions in pre-Nazi German society, it most
particularly served as a cultural code, a sign of belonging to a
particular political and cultural milieu. Surprisingly, it only had
a limited effect on the lives of the Jews themselves. By the end of
the nineteenth century, their integration was well advanced. Many
of them enjoyed prosperity, prestige, and the pleasures of
metropolitan life. This book stresses the dialectical nature of
assimilation, the lead of the Jews in the processes of
modernization, and, finally, their continuous efforts to 'invent' a
modern Judaism that would fit their new social and cultural
position.
