In 1939 There Were Ten Million Jews In Europe. After Hitler There Were Four Million. Today In 1996 There Are Under Two Million. On Current Projections The Jews Will Become Virtually Extinct As A Significant Element In European Society Over The Course Of The Twenty-first Century. Now, In The First Comprehensive Social And Political History Of The Experience And Fate Of European Jews During The Last Fifty Years, Bernard Wasserstein Sheds Light On The Reasons For This Dire Demographic Projection. Drawing On A Rich Variety Of Sources, Many Hitherto Unpublished, Wasserstein Begins With The Painful Years Of Liberation After World War Ii When Jews Tried To Recover From The Destruction Of Their People And Communities, Then Traces The Jewish Experience In Eastern And Western Europe In Different National And Ideological Contexts.
