Becoming Habsburg

The Jews of Austrian Bukovina, 1774-1918

Synopsis
The Jews of Bukovina were integral to, and at home in, local society. David Rechter has written a very accessible history that conveys the special nature of Bukovina Jewry while locating it in a number of larger intellectual frameworks of relevance to European Jewish history, as well as to the history of Austria and of central Europe. Combining narrative with analysis and chronology with thematic treatment, he makes this untold story relevant to a wider audience.
