At the Edges of Liberalism Summary

At the Edges of Liberalism: Junctions of European, German, and Jewish History by S. Aschheim

The essays in this volume seek to confront some of the charged meeting points of European - especially German - and Jewish history. All, in one way or another, explore the entanglements, the intertwined moments of empathy and enmity, belonging and estrangement, creativity and destructiveness that occurred at these junctions.
