| Summary |
Jewish Experiences in Unifying Europe, Julius H. Schoeps, Olaf Glockner, Anja Kreienbrink, Europe is in the midst of a rapid political and economic unification. What does this mean for the Jewish minority - numbering less than 2 million people and still suffering from the aftermath of the Shoah? Will the Jewish communities participate in Europe's bold venture without risking total assimilation? Are they vibrant enough to form a new Jewish center alongside Israel and the American Jewish community, or are they hopelessly divided and on a "Road to Nowhere"? Different perspectives are predicted, relating to demographical, cultural and sociological aspects. This volume provides exciting, thorough and controversial answers by renowned scholars from Europe, Israel, North- and Latin America - many of them also committed to local Jewish community building. |
