Book Synopsis


Trade Review
A powerful and original work of scholarship . . . Wallach brings a fresh theoretical perspective to the study of early twentieth-century German-Jewish history and culture, drawing her concept of passing from African-American and LGBT Studies and paying systematic attention to the category of gender throughout."" - Jonathan Hess, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

""Wallach's superbly researched study convincingly shows that German Jews of this era not only had the ability to pass or not-pass as Jewish, but also had ample reasons for taking advantage of this powerful assimilation strategy. One of its great strengths is the author's careful attention to detail about how the need for Jews to pass or not-pass varied according to time, place, and gender."" - Lisa Silverman, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
