Reviews
Aufbau represented and connected the exiled unlike any other instrument of communication. It was, so to speak, the 'Facebook' of the time, linking with each other the refugee communities of close to one hundred countries of exile. Schrag has managed to capture the sense of urgency, depth, and importance unlike anybody before. --Frank Mecklenburg, Leo Baeck Institute Schrag deftly incorporates the history of the Aufbau, the central and major newspaper of German-speaking Jews, with the story of its readers, refugees from Hitler's Europe. In examining the tensions between retaining their culture and Americanizing, he paints a vibrant picture of a generation in transition. --Marion Kaplan, author of Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany
