Description
The Jews of Germany: A Story of Sixteen Centuries by Marvin Lowenthal is a sweeping and authoritative history of Jewish life in Germany, tracing sixteen centuries of culture, struggle, scholarship, and survival. First published in 1936, this 1944 wartime printing by the Jewish Publication Society carries its own historical weight, produced at a time when the future of European Jewry was uncertain.
This copy is in remarkably fine condition for its age, with a bright and striking dust jacket now protected in a Brodart archival cover. Clean, tight, and exceptionally well-preserved, it is both a collector’s piece and a meaningful addition to any Judaica or Holocaust-era history library.
Lowenthal’s work remains a foundational text—clear, engaging, and deeply researched—offering readers a comprehensive narrative that illuminates the richness and complexity of Jewish life in Germany long before the tragedies of the 20th century. For scholars, collectors, and anyone passionate about Jewish history, this volume is both important and enduring.
