Johannes Pfefferkorn was a German Jew who, in the early sixteenth century, converted to Roman Catholicism. Upon his baptism, he made great efforts to proselytize his former co-religionists. He belonged to a tradition of Jewish converts who throughout centuries had served the Church as major witnesses against Jewish minorities. Between 1507 and 1521, no other individual author published more pamphlets on Jews than Pfefferkorn. Pfefferkorn's first anti-Jewish pamphlet, entitled Der Juden Spiegel (The Jews' Mirror), was printed in both German and Latin versions by various publishers in 1507 and 1508, primarily in Nuremberg and Cologne. It is an important piece of polemical literature and a valuable historical witness to a crucial moment in early sixteenth-century Germany on the eve of the Reformation. The pamphlet consists of three parts. In the first part, directed to a Jewish audience, Pfefferkorn acknowledges the difficulty in the mission among the Jews and discusses conventional core theological topics in Jewish-Christian debates. The second part is addressed to Christian authorities and advises them on the treatment of Jews so that they may convert to Christianity. Pfefferkorn advocates compulsory mission sermons and asks for the confiscation of rabbinic literature, which he blames for their reluctance to convert. He also demands that Jews should not be permitted to practice usury. In the third part he interprets the signs of the times in apocalyptic terms. This edition is the first unabridged, modern German and English translation of Pfef-ferkorn's first pamphlet and includes a commentary. Maria Diemling's comprehensive historical introduction places his writing into the historical context in which it was written by discussing his life, conversion, anti-Judaism, and controversy in early-sixteenth century Germany.

Hardback. Condition: New. New World View: Letters from a German Immigrant Family in Texas, 1854-1885 is a bilingual and annotated edition of a collection of letters written by a 19th century German immigrant family in Texas. Christian Friedrich Bergmann and his family belonged to the large wave of German immigrants that came to Texas in the 1850s. Born in April of 1817 in Ebersbach, a small village then located in the Kingdom of Saxony, Bergmann - together with his wife Johanna Christiane Luise Bergmann and his three sons, Friedrich, Karl, and Christoph - embarked on an overseas journey to America in August of 1854; in November of 1854, they arrived in Texas. The family first resided in San Antonio before later settling on the Guadalupe River near Boerne, where Bergmann bought 320 acres of land and he and his family became farmers and ranchers, as well as active members of their community. The Bergmann letter collection begins with a detailed description of the sea journey and the many exciting and disheartening moments experienced while at sea. Bergmann then gives deep insight into many facets of immigrant life on the Texas frontier while narrating how he and his family built a life for themselves in Texas. This letter collection spans a period of three decades, presenting the reader with important insight into the process of German immigrant acculturation in Texas in the second half of the 19th century. At the same time, it details the numerous challenges many immigrants faced in their attempts to adapt to American culture and succeed in the New World. The book, which includes a historical and biographical introduction, is a valuable source for scholars and students in various disciplines, but also addresses readers with a general interest in the social history of German immigration to the United States and, specifically, to Texas.

Hardback. Condition: New. Youth at War: Feldpost Letters of a German Boy to His Parents, 1943-1945 is a bilingual (German and English), annotated edition of a large collection of Feldpost letters and postcards written by a German boy between September 1943 and February 1945. Born in 1927, Gerhard G. was one of Germany's youngest soldiers during the Second World War. He was only fifteen years old when in September 1943 he became a student (Luftwaffenhelfer) in the German Flak, an anti-aircraft gun unit that defended Germany against frequent aerial attacks by the Allied Forces. In July 1944, he was drafted into the R.A.D., a compulsory national labor service for young men and women. Finally, in October 1944, Gerhard joined the German navy (Kriegsmarine), where he served on the pocket battleship Admiral Scheer from January to March 1945. In May 1945, at the age of seventeen, he became an American prisoner of war. Due to his young age, he was released and permitted to return home in August 1945. This collection of one hundred and forty letters and postcards he had mailed to his parents was found in his house, shortly before his death in May 2008, neatly tied together by a string and in chronological order. It represents the large majority, if not all of the correspondence to his family that reached them while he was away from home. Gerhard's letters give deep insight into many aspects of military and social life during the Second World War, while offering the reader a rare and close look at the war experiences, thoughts, and feelings of an intelligent German boy who, from one day to the next, was made a part of Hitler's war machine. In combination with photographs and other documents from his childhood, youth, and young adulthood, these letters help reconstruct an interesting piece of German Alltagsgeschichte and can perhaps shed new light on a much-discussed time in German history. The edition, which includes a historical and biographical introduction, is not only a valuable source for scholars and students in various disciplines, but also addresses general readers with an interest in the social history of the Second World War.
