Some of these characters are fictional; others, ranging from Rabbi Loew of Prague to Ferdinand Lassalle and Alfred Dreyfus, have a historic original. This book examines how a variety of German and Austrian films treat aspects of Jewish life, at home and in the synagogue, and Jewish interaction with fellow Jews in different cultural environments; conflicts and accommodations between Jews and non-Jews at various times, ranging from the medieval to the contemporary. The author, one of the best known scholars in film history, theory and criticism, offers the reader a rich panorama of the many Jews involved in all spheres of the cinema and who, as the author reminds us repeatedly, together with their non-Jewish contemporaries, created a great industry and new forms of art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47612239085719,"sku":"9781845453039","price":1468.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781845453039.webp?v=1775076663","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/between-two-worlds-the-jewish-presence-in-german-and-austrian-film-1910-1933-9781845453039","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
