| Summary: | Today it is still easier to find a good book on the Jews in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) than to find one on the Jews in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Several factors account for this imbalance, perhaps most important among them the small size of the East German community. Historians usually prefer manageable quantities of material, and the documents produced by or on the approximately 400 Jews in the former GDR seem less overwhelming than the abundance of sources on their co-religionists west of the border. At the same time, the Central Council of Jews in Germany and community leaders in Munich, Frankfurt, and Berlin have never been known for their particularly liberal approach to their own historicization. |
