Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Accompanying a recent exhibition at New York's Jewish Museum, this collection of essays explores Jewish participation in the cultural life of Berlin from 1890 through 1918. Painting, writing, theater, film, cabaret, artistic salons, and the Zionist movement are all addressed. Some full-page and many small reproductions of artworks along with a generous number of photographs help illustrate the time and place. A year-by-year chronology of important political events and the art and culture of the Jews of Berlin and internationally provides an interesting framework for the text. Unfortunately, the tone and quality of the writing are uneven, and there is some repetition of information from essay to essay. This book will be of most use in specialized historical and Judaica collections.
