A cultural history of friendship in Germanic Judaism

Gerade für die junge Generation der um 1900 Geborenen repräsentierte die Ideologie, das Versprechen der Freundschaft so vieles, das ihrem alltäglichen Leben Sinn und Bedeutung gab.

As history was being recorded, the so-called botanical Zionism that grew up around the German-Jewish colonial botanist…
