Více o knize

Focusing on the Rescher family's historical journey, the narrative traces their emergence in the 17th Century near Lake Constance and their role in establishing a thriving Israelite community in Hochberg from 1750 to 1850. The family's trajectory reflects the broader experiences of their Swabian counterparts, marked by prosperity and Germanification. By the 1850s, most Reschers migrated to America, assimilating into Christendom, except for notable figures like orientalist Oskar Rescher and Osman Re er, who converted to Islam and settled in Istanbul.
