CONTENTS

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book was written intermittently, over many years and in many places. Numerous individuals and institutions in Los Angeles; San Diego; Washington, DC; and Berlin supported me throughout this project in various ways. I am grateful for the opportunity to thank them here.

My first thanks go to my mentors and teachers, to Michael Meyer in Los Angeles, who introduced me to the Jewish Club of 1933, Inc., and the Los Angeles community of German Jewish refugees, and to Frank Biess, Hasia Diner, and Deborah Hertz. I am particularly indebted to Hasia Diner for suggesting the title and for allowing me to use it for this work.

Many other scholars contributed to this project, offering advice through conversations at different stages, opportunities to present my work in their colloquia, and thoughtful editing help. I am grateful to Michael Berkowitz, Michael Brenner, Judith Gerson, Atina Grossmann, Marion Kaplan, Paul Lerner, Michael A. Meyer, and Cornelia Wilhelm, as well as to three anonymous reviewers.

I am greatly indebted to the University of California, San Diego, especially the Department of History and the Judaic Studies Program, for funding my research and writing. Much of my research travel was funded by grants from the Institute for International Comparative and Area Studies at UC San Diego, the UC California Studies Consortium and the UC Humanities Research Institute, the Institute for European Studies at UC Berkeley, and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. The New York Leo Baeck Institutes Fritz Halbers Fellowship allowed me to spend several months in New York for archival research. The Leo Baeck Fellowship, funded by the Leo Baeck Institute London and the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, provided me with a year of generous support and rewarding intellectual exchange, especially during discussions with my colleagues in the programs workshops, which were led by Raphael Gross and Daniel Wildmann. I have also benefited from the insight of the participants of the workshop Experiences of Modern European Jews: National, Transnational, and Comparative Perspective at NYUs Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies and that of the participants of the Institute of Historical Researchs Jewish History Seminar at the University of London.
