Description: "Reconstructing a National Identity explores the impact of war and political crisis on the national identity of Jews, both in the multi-national Habsburg Monarchy and in the nation-states that replaced it at the end of World War I. It focuses on the German-speaking Jews of Austria in an attempt to understand Jewish identity in particular and the nature of ethnic and national identity in general." "Based on extensive reading of published and unpublished memoirs, newspapers, sermons, and archival records, Reconstructing a National Identity provides moving testimony about the dilemmas of Jews - and, by extension, ethnic minorities in general - in European society."--Jacket.
