Just decades after the experience of intense persecution and struggle for recognition that marked the end of the nineteenth century, Jewish men and women across the globe found themselves drawn into a conflict of unprecedented violence and destruction. The frenzied military, social, and cultural mobilisation of European societies between 1914 and 1918, along with the outbreak of revolution in Russia and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East had a profound impact on Jewish communities worldwide. The First World War thus constitutes a seminal but surprisingly under-researched moment in the evolution of modern Jewish history. The essays gathered together in this ground-breaking volume explore the ways in which Jewish communities across Europe and the wider world experienced, interpreted and remembered the ?war to end all wars?. 606 $aJews$xSocial conditions 606 $aJudaism 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aSocial history 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y1492- 607 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aJudaism. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aSocial history. 676 $a940.3089924 702 $aMadigan$b Edward 702 $aReuveni$b Gideon 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483430203321 996 $aThe Jewish Experience of the First World War$92851287 997 $aUNINA
