Description
German Jews assimilated the cultural values of Germany but were not themselves assimilated into German society, Mendes-Flohr contends. Yet, by virtue of their adoption of values sponsored by enlightened German discourse, they were no longer unambiguously Jewish. The author discusses how their identity and cultural loyalty became fractured and how German Jews--like other Jews and indeed like all denizens of the modern world--were obliged to confront the challenges of living with plural identities and cultural affiliations.
