Berlin metropolis : Jews and the new culture, 1890-1918
Between 1890 and 1918 the city of Berlin evolved an international center for radical ideas in the visual, performing, and literary arts. This book documents the ways that Jewish artists and entrepreneurs participated in this burst of artistic creativity and promoted the emergence of modernism on the international scene.
