This collection of book reviews examines four significant works addressing Jewish history, identity, and experience in modern Europe and the Middle East. Paula Hyman's "From Dreyfus to Vichy: The Remaking of French Jewry, 1906-1939" analyzes the transformation of French Jewish political ideology through examining conflicts between assimilated native Jews and Eastern European immigrants. Using archival sources from France, Israel, and the United States, Hyman demonstrates how the influx of 150,000 immigrants challenged the "politics of assimilation" that had characterized French Jewry since emancipation, creating tensions over class, cultural orientation, and political outlook that were only partially resolved through youth movements and Zionism before the Vichy period. Marion Kaplan's study of the Jüdischer Frauenbund (1904-1938) documents the pioneering Jewish feminist movement in Germany, focusing on Bertha Pappenheim's leadership in combating prostitution and white slavery, advancing women's suffrage and communal participation, and promoting female vocational training. Reuven Bulka's examination of Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy explores its philosophical foundations and therapeutic applications, particularly regarding suffering and meaning-seeking, though the review notes structural weaknesses in presentation. Finally, Raymonda Tawil's autobiographical account provides a Palestinian perspective on Israeli occupation of the West Bank, offering insights into Arab experiences and attitudes while inadvertently demonstrating the relative liberality of Israeli administration compared to other occupying powers.
