A Fatal Balancing ACT: The Dilemma of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany, 1939-1945 de Beate Meyer

A Fatal Balancing ACT: The Dilemma of the Reich Association of Jews in Germany, 1939-1945

Autor Beate Meyer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2016

In 1939 all German Jews had to become members of a newly founded Reich Association. The Jewish functionaries of this organization were faced with circumstances and events that forced them to walk a fine line between responsible action and collaboration. They had hoped to support mass emigration, mitigate the consequences of the anti-Jewish measures, and take care of the remaining community. When the Nazis forbade emigration and started mass deportations in 1941, the functionaries decided to cooperate to prevent the "worst." In choosing to cooperate, they came into direct opposition with the interests of their members, who were then deported. In June 1943 all unprotected Jews were deported along with their representatives, and the so-called intermediaries supplied the rest of the community, which consisted of Jews living in mixed marriages. The study deals with the tasks of these men, the fate of the Jews in mixed marriages, and what happened to the survivors after the war.

Recenzii

"[The author] keeps the focus on the individual without ever losing sight of the overall crime. This book - can be considered as an essential contribution to the history of the extermination of the German Jews." * Bulletin of the Fritz Bauer Institute, Frankfurt "Beate Meyer succeeds in producing a nearly complete picture of procedures and decisions within the organization. In addition she describes openly but not without empathy the diverse, often narrow perspectives and possibilities of responsible individuals in their respective situation." * Sehepunkte "The attraction of the book lies not only in the clearly presented results of wide ranging archival material, Meyer also offers a reconstruction of the eventual tragic-political entanglement of the Reich Association with the NS-regime. The study is impressive with its highly informative and factual presentation." * Judische Zeitung
