Abstract:
Jewish Experiences in Unifying Europe, Julius H. Schoeps, Olaf Glöckner, Anja Kreienbrink, Europe is in the midst of a rapid political and economic unification. What does this mean for the Jewish minority - numbering less than 2 million people and still suffering from the aftermath of the Shoah? Will the Jewish communities participate in Europe's bold venture without risking total assimilation? Are they vibrant enough to form a new Jewish center alongside Israel and the American Jewish community, or are they hopelessly divided and on a ""Road to Nowhere""? Different perspectives are predicted
