During World War II, their quiet community, nicknamed Grunewald on the Orient, emerged as both an immigrant safe haven and a lively expatriate hotspot, welcoming many famous residents including poet-playwright Else Lasker-Schüler, historian Gershom Scholem, and philosopher Martin Buber. It was an idyllic setting, if fraught with unique tensions on the fringes of the long-divided holy city. After the war, despite the weight of the Shoah, the neighborhood miraculously repaired shattered bonds between German and Israeli residents. In \u003ci\u003eGerman Jerusalem\u003c\/i\u003e, Thomas Sparr opens up the history of this remarkable community and the forgotten borderland they called home. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Sparr\u003c\/b\u003e is a publisher-at-large for the German publisher Suhrkamp and former chief editor at Siedler.
