New Beginnings

More about the book

Focusing on the British Zone of occupation in northwest Germany, the book explores how Jewish communities began to reconstruct their social and cultural networks after World War II. It highlights the collaboration between "camp and community" that fostered a new Jewish nationalism in the post-Holocaust era. This in-depth analysis contextualizes the development of these groups within the broader Jewish world and the emergence of Palestine-Israel, illustrating the active role of Jews in shaping their post-Holocaust identity and influence on global Jewish affairs.
