Ebook: Jews and the German State: The Political History of a Minority, 1848-1933

"Jews and the German State" is the first political and cultural history of the Jewish community in Germany in its golden age and its decline, between the revolution of 1848 and the coming to power of Hitler in 1933. More than a pre-history of the Holocaust, this is a study of a minority group addressing the key questions concerning the cultural and political roles of minorities and their place in modern society. Pulzer's history of assimilation, emancipation and discrimination is aimed in particular at students and scholars of European history, political studies and sociology, but may also be enjoyed by the general reader with an interest in this historical period.
