Passing Illusions by Kerry Wallach

Being visible as a Jew in Weimar Germany often involved appearing simultaneously non-Jewish and Jewish. Passing Illusions examines the constructs of German-Jewish visibility during the Weimar Republic and explores the controversial aspects of this identity - and the complex reasons many decided to conceal or reveal themselves as Jewish.

Kerry Wallach is Associate Professor of German Studies and an Affiliate of the Judaic Studies Program at Gettysburg College.
