Description


The contribution of Jewish Germans to the social, political and cultural life of Germany and Austria from 1900 to 1933. The impact of attempted integration as reflected in the work of Herzl, Schnitzler, Kafka, Buber, Feuchtwanger, Scholem and others; the failure of the German-Jewish symbiosis as a basis for discussion of the concepts of assimilation, acculturation, ethnicity, identity and nationality.
