Shortlisted for the Wolfson History Prize 2018 This book is the first to offer a full account of the varied contributions of German Jews to Imperial Germany's endeavors during the Great War. Historian Tim Grady examines the efforts of the 100,000 Jewish soldiers who served in the German military (12,000 of whom died), as well as the various activities Jewish communities supported at home, such as raising funds for the war effort and securing vital food supplies. However, Grady's research goes much deeper: he shows that German Jews were never at the periphery of Germany's warfare, but were in fact heavily involved. The author finds that many German Jews were committed to the same brutal and destructive war that other Germans endorsed, and he discusses how the conflict was in many ways lived by both groups alike. What none could have foreseen was the dangerous legacy they created together, a legacy that enabled Hitler's rise to power and planted the seeds of the Holocaust to come.

One of the most common assumptions about World War II is that the Jews did not actively or effectively resist their own extermination at the hands of the Nazis. In this powerful book, Benjamin Ginsberg convincingly argues that the Jews not only resisted the Germans but actually played a major role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The question, he contends, is not whether the Jews fought but where and by what means. True, many Jews were poorly armed, outnumbered, and without resources, but Ginsberg shows persuasively that th

This book tells the little-known stories of Jewish soldiers who served in the Jewish Legions during World War I. Three all-Jewish battalions formed in the British army as part of the Allies' Middle East campaign, recruiting soldiers from the United States, Canada, England, and Argentina. Drawing on diaries, memoirs and letters, the book follows their journey at sea through unrestricted submarine warfare; by trains and trucks through Europe, Egypt, and Palestine; and their battlefield experiences. The authors show how these Yiddish-speaking young men forged a new kind of soldi

Erstmals in der deutschen Historiographie liegt ein Sachbuch vor, das die Themen jüdische Soldaten und jüdischer Widerstand in Deutschland und Frankreich umfassend darstellt und dabei Schlussfolgerungen für beide Länder und den weiteren Weg der europäischen Einigung zieht. Wenn europäische »aufgeklärte« Nationalstaaten Juden aus ihrem Nationalstaatsverständnis herausdefinierten, wofür kämpften dann jüdische Soldaten Seite an Seite mit ihren nichtjüdischen Kameraden? Wofür kämpfte der jüdische Widerstand? Wie wird heute diese Vergangenheit im Sinne eines Erinnerns zur Gegenwart? Diesen Fragen gehen die Herausgeber mit vielen renommierten Mitautoren in einer umfangreichen Fallbeispielsammlung nach.

Most popular accounts of the Holocaust typically cast Jewish victims as meek and ask, 'Why didn't Jews resist?' But we know now that Jews did resist, staging armed uprisings in ghettos and camps throughout Nazi-occupied Europe. In 'Hope and Honor,' Rachel L. Einwohner illustrates the dangers in attempting resistance under unimaginable conditions and shows how remarkable such resistance was. She draws on oral testimonies, published and unpublished diaries and memoirs, and other written materials produced both by survivors and those who perished to show how Jews living under Nazi occupation in the ghettos of Warsaw, Vilna, and Lodz reached decisions about resistance.
