Description

Between Borders: The Great Jewish Migration from Eastern Europe Tobias Brinkmann's new book sheds light on the stories of Jewish migrants and refugees before and after the First World War. Between 1860s and early 1920s, over two million Jews moved to the United States, while smaller groups migrated to other destinations such as Western Europe, Palestine, and South Africa. The book explores how immigration laws in countries like the US influenced migration routes around the world. Brinkmann uses memoirs, letters, and accounts by investigative journalists and Jewish aid workers to contextualize the experiences of individual migrants, some of whom contributed to the development of migration and refugee studies as a field of scholarship. Between Borders offers a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that shaped the lives of these migrants and refugees, including the impact of the First World War and the Holocaust.
