[Lewis Weinstein]

Interesting material but not relevant to my current work on the sequel to A Flood of Evil.

[Bruce · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about a small portion of the German Jewish reaction to the increased burdens placed on them by Hitler and his accomplices. Many tried to emigrate or at least have their children emigrate. The affluent found it easier. For those less fortunate training centers were set up to train youth an enable them to emigrate as skilled agricultural labor. Most of the centers led to emigration to Palestine. The case study in this book was non-secular and wanted the youth to emigrate to countries other than Palestine. Unfortunately the camps were closed and emigration halted in 1938/9.
