Resurgence of Jewish Life in Germany
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[Resurgence offers a fascinating window on the perceptions and relationships between middle-class, educated and urban Gentiles and Jews in Germany today. Kahn's optimistic findings are part of a debate that will undoubtedly continue for a long time to come.”–
“This book makes for interesting reading and is certainly a welcome addition to the literature on Jewish life in Germany today. It should appeal to sociologists or other individuals studying contemporary German Jewry. It should also interest lay readers looking to learn more about Jewish life in today's Germany.”–
“[A] thoughtful volume on an interesting subject....Psychoanalytically informed sociologists, historians, interdisciplinary doctoral students, and other scholars will find Kahn's book to be an especially good resource for further idea generation.”–
Book Description
As early as the first century of the common era, Jews followed the Romans to live on German territory. For two thousand years Jews and the local population co-existed. This relationship has been turbulent at times but has occasionally been a model of multicultural synergism. Together the two groups have produced a unique and rich culture. Germany's Jewish Community, with thriving congregations, schools, publications, and museums, has been the world's fastest growing group. This work focuses on the present while addressing the underlying question of the future for Jews in Germany: How temperate is the German social climate and how fertile is its soil for Jews?
