Abstract
In 4 volumes, 2003-2008.
Vol. 1 describes aspects of Orthodox Jewish life in Germany just before and subsequent to the rise of Nazism, including excerpts from various sources, some of them translated here for the first time. Discusses, first, the character of Jewish Orthodoxy in Germany before the Nazi period. Then, describes events during the 1930s - the antisemitic legislation and Aryanization. Ch. 3 (pp. 67-81) discusses how observant Jews dealt with the ban on "shehitah" in Germany from 1933, focusing on this issue because it was the only law in this period that directly targeted the Jewish religion. Ch. 4 (pp. 83-110) relates to the centrality of the synagogue in German Jewish life during the 1930s. Ch. 5 (pp. 111-130) presents reactions of Orthodox Jews and their fate during the war period. Pp. 131-147 contain a lexicon.
