Stanford University Press No Longer Ladies and Gentlemen - Stanford University Press

Explore a significant chapter of 20th-century history with No Longer Ladies and Gentlemen. This scholarly work from Stanford University Press examines the lives of the sixty thousand German Jews who escaped Nazi Germany to find refuge in Mandatory Palestine between 1933 and 1940. This book connects German-Jewish and Israeli history through a unique lens, focusing on how migration transformed professional and cultural identities. It details how the move to a new land, language, and climate forced radical changes upon those who arrived. By looking at migration as gender history, the text explains how gendered policies and ideologies shaped the experience of moving to Mandatory Palestine/Eretz Israel. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how men and women experienced this transition differently, from the initial decision to immigrate to their integration into a new society. This is an essential resource for those interested in Jewish history, migration studies, and the social dynamics of the Mandate period.
