It has been assumed that the Jewish community in Germany was in decline during the Weimar Republic. But, Sharon Gillerman demonstrates that Weimar Jews sought to rejuvenate and reconfigure their community as a means both of strengthening the German nation and of creating a more expansive and autonomous Jewish entity within the German state Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 212-226) and index Notes English Print version record Subject Jews -- Germany -- History -- 20th century Jews -- Germany -- Social conditions -- 20th century Jews -- Germany -- Charities -- History Jews -- Germany -- History -- 1800-1933.
