Description: "This book examines how a variety of German and Austrian films treat aspects of Jewish life at home and in the synagogue; Jewish interaction with fellow Jews in different cultural environments; and conflicts and accommodations between Jews and non-Jews at various times, ranging from the medieval to the contemporary. The author, one of the best known scholars in film history and criticism, offers the readers a rich panorama of the many Jews involved in all spheres of the cinema who as the author reminds us, together with their non-Jewish contemporaries, created a great industry and new forms of art."--BOOK JACKET.
