SIGNED BY ARTIST - Hermann Struck. In this book, the German-Jewish author Zweig tries to give the so called "Ostjuden", Eastern European Jews who were greatly disliked in Germany, an estimable face. He is supported by 52 b&w plates mainly depicting portraits of "Ostjuden" drawn by Struck. This book was written as a reaction to the growing anti-Semitism in Europe and the observable tendency of the German Jews to distance themselves from the Eastern European Jews, in order to appear more "German". 182x261mm. 176 pages.
