Though located at the periphery of the main migration routes, the federal state with its liberal policies on foreigners became a key destination for students, revolutionaries, and travelers. The micro-studies and more general papers of this volume approach the topic in its transnational, local, linguistic, gendered, and ideological dimensions and from various disciplinary angles. They interweave and facilitate a novel take on the transitory spatial history and the Lebenswelt of East European Jews in Switzerland. Topics of this volume range - among others - from the location of Switzerland on the map of East European Jewish politics (Bundism, Socialism, Yiddishism, Zionism), conflicting performative cultures of Jewish and Russian revolutionaries, the Swiss Lehr- and Wanderjahre of the Jewish public intellectual Meir Wiener, the impact of Geneva on the Zionist Hebrew writer Ben Ami, the Russian-Jewish students' colonies in Berne and Zurich and questions of individuals' integration and acculturation.New perspectives on modern Jewish history ;v. 5.JewsSwitzerlandHistory19th centuryJewsSwitzerlandHistory20th centuryJews, East EuropeanSwitzerlandHistory19th centuryJews, East EuropeanSwitzerlandHistory20th centurySwitzerlandEthnic relationsEastern European Jews.Jewish immigrants.Switzerland.migration.JewsHistoryJewsHistoryJews, East EuropeanHistoryJews, East EuropeanHistory949.4/004924047Lewinsky Tamar1464967Mayoraz Sandrine1464968MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790884503321East European Jews in Switzerland3674789UNINA
