As we transition from our April theme on Ancient Texts, Modern Beliefs, we invite you to read a free preview of Alon Confinos A WORLD WITHOUT JEWS: The Nazi Imagination from Persecution to Genocide, which centers on the perplexing events of Kristallnacht in November 1938 and the burning of the Hebrew Bible across Germany. Confino asks: Why did the Nazis view the extermination of the Jews as so urgent and fatal to their survival? Why did Germans, Jews, and Europeans perceive during the war the extermination of the Jews as unlike any other genocide perpetrated by the Nazis? Well discuss the book more during Jewish American Heritage Month in May.
