Shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize 2018 This book is the
first to offer a full account of the varied contributions of German
Jews to Imperial Germany's endeavors during the Great War.
Historian Tim Grady examines the efforts of the 100,000 Jewish
soldiers who served in the German military (12,000 of whom died),
as well as the various activities Jewish communities supported at
home, such as raising funds for the war effort and securing vital
food supplies. However, Grady's research goes much deeper: he shows
that German Jews were never at the periphery of Germany's warfare,
but were in fact heavily involved. The author finds that many
German Jews were committed to the same brutal and destructive war
that other Germans endorsed, and he discusses how the conflict was
in many ways lived by both groups alike. What none could have
foreseen was the dangerous legacy they created together, a legacy
that enabled Hitler's rise to power and planted the seeds of the
Holocaust to come.
