Description
Summary:Martin Buber led the great expansion of adult Jewish education in Nazi Germany, both theoretically and practically. He helped found and directed the Centre for Jewish Adult Education, to which he brought several of German Jewry's leading educators. The Centre was to serve as a central authority for Jewish education for adults, youth movement leaders, and teachers from state schools who had no Jewish education background. To Buber, helping German Jews to know the essence of their being constituted arming them for survival, and it was in this light that he years later referred to the adult education project as spirltual resistance.
