Abstract:
Rejects the lachrymose theory of Jewish history in regard to Germany in the 16th-17th centuries. On the basis of texts by Josel of Rosheim, David Gans, and Juspa Hahn which deal with their Jewish communities, concludes that despite expulsions, restrictions, and persecutions, Jews could be powerful, self-sufficient, and capable of manipulating their own destiny.
