The achievements if German Jewry in the realm of Hebrew religious culture were clouded b the assimilationist Movement released by the Emancipation. In their more extreme manifestations, these Movements aimed at the extinction of Hebrew tradition and final abandonment of Jewish identity. Largely as an antithesis to these tendencies, a militant "Orthodoxy" arose among German Jewry, determined to uphold the ancient Hebrew laws and to fight for an enlightened but uncompromising Judaism. Hermann Schwab's history deals with the period from the 1830s up to the time of the annihilation of the Jewish community in Germany. Translated into English from the German by Irene R.
