Jews and Power

What is the relationship of Jews and power in different historical epochs, in different countries in the Diaspora and in my state?

Why focus on the moral improvement, the Jews did not attain the political structure that would protect Jewish civilization in the years of Nazism?

As a Jewish state was at the forefront of the struggle of the democratic world?

Harvard professor, an eminent specialist in Yiddish Ruth Weiss explores these questions in the book.
