Jews in Germany after the Holocaust : Memory, Identity, and Jewish-German Relations (Cambridge Cultural Social Studies)

Rating:
Summary: Well researched and well written.
Review: Rapaport's first book outlines the results of her research into how Jews in postwar Germany responded to the challenges of living in the shadow of the Holocaust, the difficult questions of their sense of personal identity, and their willingness to continue to identify with German culture. This work has also been chosen by the American Sociological Association in 1998 as the best book in the category of religion and sociology. It can be highly recommended for everyone interested in postwar German history, the Holocaust, and modern Jewish history.
