Description
This collection of letters from German refugee historians to their teacher Friedrich Meinecke sheds light on questions of emigration and German-Jewish and German-American identity. It also reflects the deep impact that emigrant historians had on American teaching and research in European history, as well as on the rebuilding of German historiography after it was discredited during the Nazi era.
Review:
There is little to criticize in this edition, which is meticulously annotated, and makes entirely fascinating reading....will surely become a very important edition for anyone interested in exile historiographies and the transatlantic interplay between North American and West German historiographies after 1945 in particular. Stefan Berger, The Journal of Modern History, Vol. 84, No. 2, The Jew in the Modern European Imaginary (June 2012), 517-519
