Title: Aptly Titled
Product review: I found that this book very much lives up to its name. The author chronicles the rapid socioeconomic ascent of Jews within Germany. In doing so, he discusses several famous examples, and uses them as an illustration of somewhat general trends. This suggests that German Jews would be the first Jewish community within Europe to be fully integrated into the nation-at-large. However, this illusion is cruelly shattered by Germany's defeat in WWI and the subsequent efforts to lay the defeat at the door of the Jews. We all know of the horrors that followed.
