While the story is local, it is also national and international. The "widening gate" of the title signifies the transition from a medieval city confined by walls and protective of its gates, a microcosm, to the early modem city integrated into the larger world. In this provocative work Sacks is after strands of realities, and he finds them; and like the magical and industrious spider, he weaves beautiful and sturdy patterns. Recognizing the work's complexity, he also patiently provides explicit explana~ tions of what he is doing and why, useful summaries, and carefully considered transitions. Sacks' story begins with England's loss of Bordeaux in 1453. The staple trade of English cloth for French wine disappeared and Bristol's merchants moved on to the Iberian peninsula and the Mediterranean. By the mid~sixteenthcentury the central the...

Beginning with an examination of the attitudes of Martin Luther, he challenges distinctions between theologically derived (medieval) and secular, "racial" (modern) antisemitism, arguing that there is an unbroken chain of antisemitic feeling between the two periods. "Rose persuasively demonstrates that for almost all [German revolutionary thinkers of the right and left], the German Question was ensnarled in the Jewish Question, and that a deep kinship between left and right was expressed in the loaded opposition between Deutschtum and Judentum".--Robert Alter, The New Republic "The suggestion of the title of Paul Rose's imposing book that Kant, the patron saint of liberal humanitarianism, was in fact the initiator of an important, and perhaps the crucial, strand in German antisemitism may come as something of a shock. But for this and for a number of other, more comprehensive, propositions, Paul Lawrence Rose has assembled a powerful, if rather single-minded case".--Anthony Quinton, The New York Review of Books "An intensely interesting, learned, and combative book".--Geoffrey Wheatcroft, The Times Literary Supplement

During the early years of the Nazi regime many young Jews chose to join Zionist organizations which not only aimed to educate Jews about Jewish history and heritage but also had the goal of facilitating their move to Palestine. The BdjJ was different in its determination to remain in Germany despite the ever-increasing hostility. Through looking at its journal and talking to some of its leaders, I have tried to recount some of the dilemmas that a non-Zionist group faced under the tightening terror of the Nazis. The group was steadfast in its devotion to remain loyal to its country, but it was equally interested in infusing its members with knowledge and pride in Judaism so that they could better function in a society that was rapidly becoming both hostile and exclusive regarding young German Jews.
