| Title | "THE JEW'S FACE GRINS EVERYWHERE BUT IN THE TRENCHES!": Emancipation and Jewish soldiers in World War I Germany |
| Summary | This thesis examines the participation of Jewish soldiers in the German military in World War I. By looking at the development of the "New Jew" and comparing the German scenario with those of other militaries in Europe, I hope to show that the German case was unique. For those Jews seeking assimilation and acceptance into German society, they were met with the harsh reality that German society was not willing to accept them as equals, regardless of displays of courage or death. The military as an avenue toward emancipation. |
