Reviews
""Miklós Konrád's study of conversion in Hungary is a major contribution to the social history of Central European Jewry in the modern period. The author's treatment of a potentially explosive subject is calm and nuanced. It is noteworthy for its comparative perspective and for its rich and often wide-ranging evidentiary base.""—Todd M. Edelman, author of Broadening Jewish History: Towards a Social History of Ordinary Jews ""Confronted by a glass ceiling thwarting their integration into Hungarian society at the turn of the twentieth century, members of the economic and cultural Jewish elite were faced with a stark dilemma, leave their community through conversion, or remain steadfast to it at the expense of their advancement. Konrád's comprehensive analysis sensitively examines the decisions of a significant number to exit, at the same time shedding light on those who chose loyalty. A very important contribution to the history of Jews in Hungary.""—Michael K. Silber, editor of Jews in the Hungarian Economy, 1760-1945
