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.

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.
