Hugo Bergmann, Gershom Scholem, Gabriele Tergit, Else Lasker-Schüler, Arnold Zweig, and Paul Mühsam witnessed the gap between dream and reality from their own perspectives, representing it at many levels: intellectual, cultural, historical, psychological, and literary. As these six figures arrived in Palestine, this ancient land long imagined by diaspora generations with life-long nostalgia was new and open to different interpretations, outcomes, and realities. \u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the difficulties and challenges that these figures had to face as they returned to the land of their fathers, a return shadowed by a historical, symbolic and metaphysical exile. It tells the story of a culture suspended and balanced between many worlds-- a story of exile and return that is still unfolding under our eyes today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Sonino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498540309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498540308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Claudia Sonino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088434114815,"sku":"9781498540308","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfab2fc4-4c6c-442c-a76c-4522d116ea8e.jpg?v=1769104812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/german-jews-in-palestine-1920-1948-claudia-sonino-9781498540308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
