The untold story of how American Jews reinvented modern humanitarianism during the Great War and rebuilt Jewish life in Jewish homelands.
The 2013 Yearbook of the Simon Dubnow Institute is centered on two focal areas: Jewish military history and the secularization of Hebrew. Jewish military history is principally a history of the integration of the Jews into their surrounding European cultures. This section highlights questions of loyalty and citizenship.

В книге английского историка Тима Грейди проведено уникальное исследование истинных причин, приведших Германию к Холокосту. Как это ни парадоксально, но то воодушевление, с которым немецкие евреи встретили начало Первой мировой войны, а затем участвовали в ней наряду с немцами, сыграло с ними злую шутку. Автор скрупулезно изучает различные аспекты военно-экономической деятельности Германии и дает читателям понять, как немецкий подход к войне стал создавать опасные социальные проблемы. В книге использовано большое количество дневников, которые вели реальные участники событий, писем с фронта домой и других ценных исторических материалов.
