Jüdisches Leben in Sachsen-Anhalt

The federal state of Saxony-Anhalt was once home to a flourishing Jewish cultural and scholarly landscape. In this region, significant modern projects emerged in the 19th century, associated with renowned scholars such as Moses Mendelssohn, Leopold Zunz, Ludwig Philippson, and Esriel Hildesheimer. The authors in this volume examine, from various disciplinary perspectives, individuals, events, religious and intellectual movements, as well as places of remembrance within a Jewish historical space that has so far been insufficiently researched, which equally represent the milestones of Jewish Saxony-Anhalt before its destruction in the 20th century.
