Author:Amos Elon
The Pity of It All is a passionate and poignant history of German Jews, tracing the journey of a people and their culture from the mid eighteenth century to the eve of the Third Reich.
As it is usually told, the story of the Jews in Germany starts at the end, overshadowed by their tragic demise in Hitler's Reich. Now, in this important work of historical restoration, the acclaimed historian and social critic Amos Elon takes us back to the beginning, chronicling a 150-year period of achievement and integration that at its peak produced a golden age second only to the Renaissance.
On a new CD of Churchill's greatest speeches, that voice, with the crackles taken out, produces in the listener some of the same feelings that must have churned within those civilians at home, those servicemen and women on leave, and the young nearing military age and their sweethearts.
