This book is first of its kind to deal with the interwar Jewish
emigration from Germany in a comparative framework and follows the
entire migration process from the point of view of the emigrants.
It combines the usage of social and economic measures with the
individual stories of the immigrants, thereby revealing the complex
connection between the socio-economic profile varieties and the
decisions regarding emigration - if, when and where to. The
encounter between the various immigrant-refugee groups and the
different host societies in different times produced diverse
stories of presence, function, absorption and self-awareness in the
three major overseas destinations - Palestine, the USA, and Great
Britain -- despite the ostensibly common German-Jewish heritage.
Thus German-Jewish immigrants created a new and nuanced fabric of
the German-Jewish Diaspora in its main three centers, and shaped
distinct identifications and legacies in Israel, Britain, and the
United States.
