Passing Illusions: Jewish Visibility In Weimar Germany, Kerry Wallach
Passing Illusions: Jewish Visibility In Weimar Germany, Kerry Wallach
Gettysburg College Faculty Books
Weimar Germany (1919–33) was an era of equal rights for women and minorities, but also of growing antisemitism and hostility toward the Jewish population.
