Ethnic Minorities in 19th and 20th Century Germany - Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Turks and Others

Taking a chronological approach that runs into the new Millennium, the author traces the history of all of the ethnic groups, illustrating their relationship with the German government and with the rest of the German populace. He demonstrates that Germany provides a perfect testing ground for examining how different forms of rule deal with minorities, including monarchy, liberal democracy, fascism and communism.
