Yet Jews also suffered as refugees and deportees, at times catastrophically. And in the aftermath of the war, the replacement of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Russian and Ottoman Empires with a system of nation-states confronted Jews with a new set of challenges. This book provides a fascinating survey of the ways in which Jewish communities participated in and were changed by the Great War, focusing on the dramatic circumstances they faced in Europe, North America, and the Middle East during and after the conflict UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781785335938?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781785335938 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781785335938/original ER -
