A deeply fascinating, moving book. (Scotsman)
This is the portrait of a world on the eve of its destruction. Bernard Wasserstein presents a disturbing interpretation of the collapse of European Jewish civilization even before the Nazi onslaught.
Wasserstein shows how the harsh realities of the age devastated the lives of communities and individuals. By 1939, the Jews faced an existential crisis that was as much the result of internal decay as of external attack.
Ranging from Vilna ('Jerusalem of Lithuania') to Salonica with its Judeo-Español-speaking stevedores and singers, and beyond, the book's focus is squarely on the Jews themselves rather than their persecutors.
Wasserstein's aim is to 'breathe life into dry bones.' Based on vast research, written with compassion and empathy, and enlivened by dry wit, On the Eve paints a vivid and shocking picture of the European Jews in their final hour.

Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Gut. XXI., 552 Seiten / pages, 37 s/w Abb. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - A portrait of a world on the brink of annihilation - and a new and disturbing interpretation of the collapse of European Jewish civilisation even before the Nazi onslaught. -- As 1930s Europe spiralled towards the Second World War, the continent's Jews faced an existential crisis that was as much the result of internal decay as of external attack. The problem was not just Nazism: the greater part of Europe was, for Jews, being transformed into a giant concentration camp. Unlike most accounts, this book focuses squarely on the Jews themselves rather than their persecutors and demonstrates that, contrary to received wisdom, there was a growing awareness by Jews that they stood on the edge of an abyss. -- On [he Eve recaptures the sorrows and glories of the last phase of the European Jews' 2,000-year history. It explores their hopes and anxieties, social relations and intellectual creativity, values and institutions, literature and music - everything that made life meaningful and bearable for them. Wasserstein introduces a cosmopolitan array of characters: political leaders, boxers, rabbis, Zionists, housewives, businessmen, beggars, comedians - and children without a future. The geographical range is enormous, from Vilna ('Jerusalem of the North'] to Amsterdam,Vienna, Warsaw and Paris, taking in the Judeo-Espagnol-speaking stevedores of Salonica and the Yiddish-language collective farms of Soviet Ukraine and Crimea. -- Based on vast research, written with compassion and empathy, and enlivened by dry wit, On the Eve paints a vivid and enlightening picture of the European Jews in their final hour.
