| Summary: | Over the past decade, we have seen a substantial number of books written on the entirely unlikely reemergence of Jewish life in both German states and the relationship of the Jewish communities to their German environment. Among the major contributions are those by Michael Brenner, Erica Burgauer (not Burgbauer, as in this book), Ulrike Offenberg, Micha Brumlik, Jael Geis, Jeffrey Herf, Juliane Wetzel and Angelika Königseder, Frank Stern, this reviewer, as well as a handful of others. Jay Geller's study, therefore, could not explore new terrain, but it does present us with a wide overview of the early period and a material-rich, diligently researched presentation of the postwar period. As such, it is clearly a new basic reference work for this early period of German-Jewish life. |
