The path-breaking original essays in this volume, especially written by some of the foremost Herzl scholars in the world, provide novel and at times surprising answers to these questions. The picture of Herzl that emerges is often rich in contradictions and ambivalence and at the same time illuminates in unexpected ways the strengths and weaknesses of the movement he initiated.

The papers in this publication were originally presented at a symposium on Fifty Years after the Racial Laws in Italy. The historiographic questions raised by the authors and the interpretations they suggest are part of a broad and lively debate on the nature of totalitarianism and the lessons to be drawn from the period that led to the Shoah.

This highly acclaimed study depicts and evaluates in an original and imaginative fashion the ‘Golden Age’ of Viennese Jewry during the long reign of Emperor Franz Joseph II. Based on exhaustive and meticulous research Professor Wistrich’s reconstruction of the place of the Jews in the Austro-Hungarian Empire provides a multitude of new insights not only into the factors that accompanied its rise but also into the ideological conflicts that have marked the twentieth century.
