Abstract:
This essay was an attempt to show that Jews had been the equals of non-Jewish front soldiers in the first World War. By showing many examples of individual heroic acts, Eugen Neter makes the point that Jewish soldiers were only identified as Jewish, if they failed in their military duties, but not if they performed heroic acts. Another section deals with the relationship between Jewish and non-Jewish soldiers. Eugen Neter concludes from his own studies that in many personal encounters religious prejudice was invisible.
Abstract:
Neter mentions German Zionists who returned from Palestine in order to participate as German soldiers in World War I; and he honors specifically the Jewish poets Hugo Zuckermann and Walter Heymann who were killed during the war.
