Published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its founding, the present volume is the first to reconstruct the LBI's fascinating history, from its beginnings as a memorial community of surviving German Jews to its present status as an internationally renowned research institute. The authors are social and cultural historians from various countries, the majority of whom are not directly affiliated with the LBI.Der anfangliche Plan einer 'Gesamtgeschichte des deutschen Judentum' ist mittlerweile einer uberaus vielfaltigen und lebendigen Forschung gewichen, und das LBI selbst, wie dieser gelungene, material- und aufschlussreiche Band zeigt, selbst Gegenstand seiner Historisierung geworden.Michael Wildt in \u003ci\u003eWerkstatt Geschichte\u003c\/i\u003e Heft 45 (2007), S. 130\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mohr Siebeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47891697991831,"sku":"9783161496684","price":8624.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783161496684.webp?v=1781184547","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/preserving-the-legacy-of-german-jewry-a-history-of-the-leo-baeck-institute-1955-2005-9783161496684","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
