Escaping Nazi Germany
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-23209-9 (ISBN)
Elegantly written and deeply researched, Joachim Schlör’s emphatic and unflinching re-telling of Alice Schwab’s life sheds new light on the Jewish experience of persecution during the Holocaust and adds nuances to current debates on emigration, memory, and identity. This book is an essential primary resource for scholars of modern European history and Jewish studies, offering a compelling and intimate route into understanding what it meant to be a Jewish refugee caught up in the tragic and tumultuous events of World War II.
Joachim Schlör is Professor of Modern Jewish/non-Jewish Relations in History at the University of Southampton, UK. He is the author of Nights in the Big City: Paris, Berlin, London, 1840 - 1930 (2016). He is the editor of the journal Jewish Culture and History, and (with Johanna Rolshoven) co-editor of the online journal Mobile Culture Studies.
