Book Synopsis
Leo Baeck (18731956) was a famous Jewish thinker and the leader of German Jewry during the Holocaust. This book offers the first interpretation of his religious thought as political, showing how Baeck, along with German-Jewish thought more broadly, cannot be properly understood without the imperial context.

Introduction: Jewish and colonial questions; 1. Under the aegis of empire; 2. Saving Christianity from itself; 3. Vulnerable existence; 4. Forced labor; 5. Seeking hope; 6. Cold War Judaism; Epilogue: remembering German Jewry, forgetting empire.
