Beschreibungen
<p>After the Nazi seizure of power on January 30, 1933, over 250 German rabbis, rabbinical scholars, and students for the rabbinate fled to the United States. <i>The Last Generation of the German Rabbinate </i>follows their lives and careers over decades in America. </p>
<p>Although culturally uprooted, the group's professional lives and intellectual leadership, particularly those of the younger members of this group, left a considerable mark intellectually, socially, and theologically on American Judaism and on American Jewish congregational and organizational life in the postwar world.</p>
<p>Meticulously researched and representing the only systematic analysis of prosopographical data in a digital humanities database, <i>The Last Generation of the German Rabbinate</i> reveals the trials of those who had lost so much and celebrates the legacy they made for themselves in America.</p>
