Produktbeschreibung
By and large, the books on Jewish demography and
social relations are in short supply. It is even more
true as to research dealing with the tiny Jewish
communities in Eastern and South Central Europe,
where either inaccessibility of the archives during
the Soviet era or lack of scholarly tradition have
impeded such studies for decades. This book provides
the fresh gaze into Jewish history from the
perspective of modern times and culture. It focuses
on the social mobility of Estonian and Slovenian
Jewish intelligentsia and doing that draws on the
unique archival sources. Jews and education presents
itself as one of the main motifs and thrust in Jewish
culture during the Modern Era. Recurrently struggling
against the various odds in history, many Jews
availed themselves of a specific modus operandi
early schooling and striving for educational
excellence in higher learning institutions either
to accomplish career related pursuits or find both
social and political acceptance among the host
societies. The study should have a positive value for
the broad circle of people and academics alike who
are interested in remarkable facets of Jewish history
and European history in general.
