If there was a prize for the most outstanding anthology in Jewish Studies, German Studies, and history that outpaces all the earlier scholarship, Colonialism and the Jews in German History: From the Middle Ages to the 20th Century, edited by Stefan Vogt, would surely contend for top honours. This is a highly significant and unusually timely body of work. It is presented in a sophisticated yet accessible way. Vogt’s superb introduction, filled with deep insight, good sense, and informed by an unusual breadth and depth of scholarship, is followed by a series of masterful essays. A potential political minefield that is simply ignored by many, or dismissed in stark terms, has been treated with painstaking research and thoughtfulness.
