Numerous individuals and institutions in Los Angeles; San Diego; Washington, DC; and Berlin supported me throughout this project in various ways. I am grateful for the opportunity to thank them here. My first thanks go to my mentors and teachers, to Michael Meyer in Los Angeles, who introduced me to the Jewish Club of 1933, Inc., and the Los Angeles community of German Jewish refugees, and to Frank Biess, Hasia Diner, and Deborah Hertz. I am particularly indebted to Hasia Diner for suggesting the title and for allowing me to use it for this work. Many other scholars contributed to this project, offering advice through con- versations at different stages, opportunities to present my work in their collo- quia, and thoughtful editing help. I am grateful to Michael Berkowitz, Michael Brenner, Judith Gerson, Atina Grossmann, Marion Kaplan, Paul Lerner, Michael A. Meyer, and Cornelia Wilhelm, as well as to three anonymous reviewers. I am greatly indebted to the University of California, San Diego, especially the Department of History and the Judaic Studies Program, for funding my research and writing. Much of my research travel was funded by grants from the Institute for International Comparative and Area Studies at UC San Diego, the UC California Studies Consortium and the UC Humanities Research Institute, the Institute for European Studies at UC Berkeley, and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. The New York Leo Baeck Institute’s Fritz Halbers Fellowship allowed me to spend several months in New York for archival research. The Leo Baeck Fellowship, funded by the Leo Baeck Institute London and the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, provided me with a year of generous sup- port and rewarding intellectual exchange, especially during discussions with my colleagues in the program’s workshops, which were led by Raphael Gross and Daniel Wildmann. I have also benefited from the insight of the participants of the workshop “Experiences of Modern European Jews: National, Transnational, and Comparative Perspective” at NYU’s Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies and that of the participants of the Institute of Historical Research’s Jewish History Seminar at the University of London. I received invaluable support from a number of archivists, especially Michaela Ullmann at the Feuchtwanger Memorial Library, Kevin Proffitt at the American – vi – This open access edition has been made available under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license thanks to the support of Knowledge Unlatched.

Rüdiger Nemitz and Heike Kröger at the Senate Chancellery Berlin granted me access to the files of the Berlin visi- tor program and the in-house collection of Aktuell magazines. I also thank Lina Nikou for sharing her sources. My deepest gratitude goes to the protagonists I have written about, those Jewish refugees from Germany who shared their stories and often also their hospitality and friendship with me. I must especially thank Doro and Fred Odenheimer, Annelise Bunzel, Marianne and Al Barbanell, and Kurt Shuler. I could not fit all of the remarkable stories of refugees I had the privilege of listen- ing to into this book, which I regret, but every single one of them was invaluable, collectively forming the backbone of this book and the basis for my arguments. I would like to thank my colleagues at the German Historical Institute (GHI), my professional home for the past several years: the director, Simone Lässig, for supporting my work on the book; Mark Stoneman for conceptual advice and editing, and Patricia C. Sutcliffe for her editing work and support in all matters related to the publishing process. David Lazar did not work on the editing but lifted my spirits with his wit. Tabea Nasaroff, who spent time as an intern at the GHI, did important groundwork on the index. At Berghahn Books, I thank Chris Chappell. I feel exceedingly fortunate to have been able to draw on the intellectual genius of my colleagues and wonderful friends. The support I received from them, whether it was improving the content of the manuscript itself or encouraging and inspiring me forward in one way or another, was invaluable, and I could not have completed this work without it.

  • The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: the Case of Germany’S
    The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: The Case of Germany’s Relations with Israel Kai Oppermann and Mischa Hansel Introduction The objective of this article is to contribute to two fields of scholarship and debate. Conceptually, it advances the literature on ‘special relationships’ in International Relations.1 Empirically, it furthers our understanding of the German-Israeli relationship which stands out as one of the most remarkable cases of special relationships in international politics.2 To that twofold purpose, the article suggests studying special relationships in general and the relations between Germany and Israel in particular from an ontological security perspective.3 1 Sebastian Harnisch, ‘Special Relationships in Foreign Policy’, in Cameron Thies (ed.), The Oxford Encyclopedia of Foreign Policy Analysis, Volume 2 (New York: Oxford University Press, 2018), pp. 710-22. 2 Lily Gardner Feldman, Germany’s Foreign Policy of Reconciliation: From Enmity to Amity (Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2012). 3 Jennifer Mitzen, ‘Ontological Security in World Politics: State Identity and the Security Dilemma’, European Journal of International Relations, 12:3 (2006a), pp. 341-70; Brent J. Steele, Ontological The article starts out from the assumption that states are motivated by ontological security seeking and it regards special relationships as a means of states to fulfil their ontological security needs. Such a theoretical angle promises to address three important gaps in our understanding of special relationships. These relate

As promised I am enclosing copies of both the agendas and lists of participants from our first three conferences . I also enclose the message received from Norway which outlines the suggested agenda for that upcoming conference. I am, as I indicated, quite sensitive to the need to extract more public di plomacy effort from our conferences . We have managed to build an excellent base. We are trusted by both the U.S. embassies and the host country think tanks. In fact, they are, with our encouragement, arranging co-sponsored events amongst themselves and between themselves and private foundations. That is an important byproduct if we want to have a lasting effect but still more needs to be done.

SCHENDERLEIN ON THEIR is is a solid, comprehensive study of German Jewish refugees in the United States, especially in Los Angeles and New York. It is probing and judicious. Michael A. Meyer, Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion MINDS THEIR ON GERMANY roughout the 1930s and early 1940s, approximately ninety thousand German MINDS Jews ed their homeland and settled in the United States, prior to that nation closing its borders to Jewish refugees. And even though many of them wanted little to do with Germany, the circumstances of World War II and the postwar era meant that engagement of some kind was unavoidable—whether direct or indirect, initiated within the community itself or by political actors and the broader German public. is book carefully traces these entangled histories on GERMAN JEWISH REFUGEES both sides of the Atlantic, demonstrating the remarkable extent to which German Jews and their former fellow citizens helped to shape developments from the IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR Allied war e ort to the course of West German democratization.

  • The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: the Case of Germany and Israel
    The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: The Case of Germany and Israel Kai Oppermann, University of Sussex Mischa Hansel, University of Giessen Paper to be presented at the CEEISA-ISA Joint International Conference Ljubljana June 23rd – 25th, 2016 The Ontological Security of Special Relationships: The Case of Germany and Israel Kai Oppermann and Mischa Hansel Introduction Fifty years after the establishment of official diplomatic relations in 1965, the German-Israeli partnership is thriving in many areas. Annual cabinet-level meetings, joint armament projects and extensive cultural and youth exchange programs are only some of the most eye-catching manifestations of this extraordinary relationship. For leading German representatives such as Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier or Federal President Joachim Gauck, the close partnership with Israel is a “miracle” (Auswärtiges Amt 2015a; Welt 2015). Scholars and media commentators describe it as one of only a few „special relationships“ that constitute a microstructure separate from the rest of international politics (Gardner Feldman 1984; Borck 2014; Economist 2015). On closer inspection, the ‘miracle’ of German-Israeli relations has multiple dimensions: First, there is Israel’s readiness after World War II to accept the young Federal Republic as a negotiation partner despite the Holocaust. Second, one is intrigued by the endurance of the relationship in the face of major domestic and international transformations, including several Israeli-Arab wars, the end of the Cold War, German unification, the Middle East peace process and changing governments and party political landscapes in both countries. Third, observers will note Germany’s unwavering commitment to the relationship, notwithstanding the asymmetries in material power and economic interdependence in its favor.
