Description
Discusses the notions of historicity that Hungarian-Jewish scholars articulated in the 1930s and early 1940s during the time between assimilationism and catastrophe. How was the modern idea of history negotiated in their writings and how did other key ideas (such as religion, redemption or character) accompany its discussion?
