This volume provides an introduction to modern German&Jewish history, from the late Middle Ages to the twentieth century, using analytical categories such as ?migration=, ?inclusion/exclusion=, ?assimilation/acculturation=. The emphasis is less on offering a chronological narrative than on issues that are currently being examined in current research on German&Jewish history. Two chapters on historiographic narratives and methods of research round off the volume, along with a comprehensive bibliography on modern German&Jewish history. The book is intended for everyone wishing to familiarize themselves with the topic alongside academic courses, or in independent study.

Prof. Thomas Brechenmacher teaches modern history (focus of expertise: German&Jewish history) at the University of Potsdam.Dr. Michal Szulc is a research assistant at the same Chair.
