Der Untergang der Deutschen Juden: Eine Volkswirtschaftliche Studie

This study offers a measured, data‑driven look at the German Jewish community in the years leading up to the 1920s. Its author begins with a historical overview, tracing how medieval marriage customs, fertility expectations and the trauma of expulsions have left lasting demographic footprints. By grounding the narrative in statistics, the work sets out to explain why population numbers have shifted, rather than simply recounting events.

The book then follows those numbers through a series of interconnected factors: migration patterns between towns and the countryside, the influence of economic change on marriage age and family size, and the growing presence of Jews in professional fields. It also examines how shifting attitudes toward sexuality, education and religious practice have intersected with broader social forces such as capitalism and nationalism. The result is a nuanced portrait of a community navigating modernity while confronting the pressures of its own demographic trends.
