Title: Between redemption and doom
First published: 1999
Description: Between Redemption and Doom is a revelatory exploration of the evolution of German-Jewish modernism. Through an examination of selected works in literature, theory, and film, Noah Isenberg investigates the ways in which Jewish identity was represented in German culture from the eve of the First World War through the rise of National Socialism.

He argues that various responses to modernity - particularly to its social, cultural, and aesthetic currents - converge around the discourse on community: its renaissance, its crisis, and its dissolution.
