D avid W einstein and A vihu Z akai . Jewish Exiles and European Thought in the Shadow of the Third Reich
Exile begins when people are torn from the world they knew—or thought they knew—and are forcibly tossed into a state of profound disorientation. Now, they are not only out of place, but out of time.

This article situates the…
