Jewish Soldiers in the Collective Memory of Central Europe

The Remembrance of World War I from a Jewish Perspective. Edited by Gerald Lamprecht, Eleonore Lappin-Eppel and Ulrich Ryrwa.

World War I marks a huge break in Central European Jewish history. Not only had the violent wartime events destroyed Jewish life and especially the living space of Eastern European Jews, but the impacts of war, the geopolitical change and a radicalization of anti-Semitism also led to a crisis of Jewish identity. This volume collects articles dealing with these Jewish and gentile debates about military service and war memory in Central Europe. With contributions by Hillel J. Kieval, Ulrich Wyrwa, Jason Crouthamel et al. 377 Seiten mit 27 Abb., gebunden (Schriften des Centrums für Jüdische Studien; Band 28/Böhlau Verlag 2019) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
