And while most became active participants in American society, they also often constructed their individual and communal lives and identities in relation to their home country. As this groundbreaking study shows, even though many refugees wanted little to do with Germany, the political circumstances of the postwar era meant that engagement of some kind was unavoidable-whether initiated within the community itself, or by political actors and the broader public in West Germany. Author Anne C. Schenderlein gives a fascinating account of these entangled histories on both sides of the Atlantic, and demonstrates the remarkable extent to which German Jewish refugees helped to shape the course of West German democratization. 410 0$aStudies in German history 606 $aJewish studies$2bicssc 607 $aGermany (West)$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zGermany (West) 610 $aHistory 610 $aJewish diaspora 610 $arefugees 610 $aNazis 610 $aThird Reich 610 $aWorld War II 610 $apostwar 610 $aGermany 610 $aUnited States 615 7$aJewish studies 676 $a327.73043 700 $aSchenderlein$b Anne C.$00 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910342949403321 996 $aGermany on Their Minds$92564707 997 $aUNINA
