About this book
In Jewish Integration in the German Army in the First World War David J. Fine offers a surprising portrayal of Jewish officers in the German army as integrated and comfortably identified as both Jews and Germans. Fine explores how both Judaism and Christianity were experienced by Jewish soldiers at the front, making an important contribution to the study of the experience of religion in war. Fine shows how the encounter of German Jewish soldiers with the old world of the shtetl on the eastern front tested both their German and Jewish identities. Finally, utilizing published and unpublished sources including letters, diaries, memoirs, military service records, press accounts, photographs, drawings and tomb stone inscriptions, the author argues that antisemitism was not a primary factor in the war experience of Jewish soldiers.
- Together with "Wartime Shanghai and the Jewish Refugees from Central Europe" by Irene Eber, this volume opens up the new series "New Perspectives on Modern Jewish History".
- This ground-breaking study on Jewish officers in the German army utilizes published and unpublished sources - including letters, diaries, memoirs, military service records, press accounts, photographs, drawings, and tomb stone inscriptions.
