The study focuses on the initial establishment and subsequent development of Jewish life in Belgium in the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition reasons for German Jewish families to migrate and to settle permanently and for the first time in Belgium, thereby creating a nucleus of jewish life, are illustrated. It is explained why pioneers like Oppenheim, Benda, Schuster, Hauman, Morel, Bischofsheim and Deby left their homes (in Germany) and moved to unknown Belgian terretories. The engagement of these pioneers within the Jewish communities as well as their economic, political and social activities are highlighted.

Beyond the romance of the Orient, early 20th century Egypt had an unknown facet: it was home to a minority German population. After the Nazis took power, however, circumstances changed, and Germans of Jewish origin were targeted for persecution. Egyptologist Ludwig Borchardt and his wife, Mimi Cohen, launched a relief campaign supported by an international orientalist network, which made Egypt its headquarters starting in 1933. Das Ägypten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts war nicht nur Drehscheibe für Ägyptenbegeisterte, sondern besaß auch eine deutsche Seite. Der ‚deutschen Kolonie‘ verliehen der Ägyptologe Ludwig Borchardt und seine Ehefrau Mimi Cohen über Jahrzehnte ihre Prägung. Ebenso wie die andern Deutschen jüdischer Herkunft wurden sie nach der Machtübergabe an die Nationalsozialisten von der ägyptendeutschen Gesellschaft, die mehrheitlich auf nationalsozialistische Linie umschwenkte, ausgegrenzt und der Verfolgung ausgesetzt. Zu Passivität sahen sich die Betroffenen nicht verurteilt. Nicht nur das Ehepaar Borchardt setzte umfassende Hilfsaktionen in Gang. Die internationale Ägyptologen- und Orientalistenschaft fühlte sich ebenso zu nachhaltiger Unterstützung verpflichtet, förderte bestehende Initiativen, ermöglichte Verfolgten Flucht und Rettung. Damit übernahm sie, jenseits von wissenschaftlichen Interessen, eine neue Rolle und bewies die Tragfähigkeit der sozialen Beziehungen.

Despite many expulsion attempts in the 16th century, the Frankfurt community advanced to become the center of the Jewish world in the Early Modern Age in the German-speaking region. Cilli Kasper-Holtkotte explores the history of the Frankfurt Jews during this period - a topic scarcely studied until now - and investigates the profound influence social networks and conflicts exerted on the lives of Jewish families. The study is based on rarely researched court records, minutes of city council meetings and Jewish community records from the Early Modern Age, which are explained thematically in the
