He puts this participation in the broader context of Jewish involvement in the left and Jewish\/non-Jewish relations in the communist movement and beyond. To this end, the book examines representations of Jewish volunteers in the Parisian Yiddish press (both communist and non-communist). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, it analyses the various ways in which Jewish volunteers and the Botwin Company have been commemorated after WWII, tracing how discourses about Jewish volunteers became decisively shaped by post-Holocaust debates on Jewish responses to fascism and Nazism, and discusses claims that Jewish volunteers can be seen as 'the first Jews to resist Hitler with arms'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGerben Zaagsma\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Researcher and Head of the Research Area Digital History \u0026amp; Historiography at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) at the University of Luxembourg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45774929985733,"sku":"9781350090064","price":88.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/KffempBiJs9781350090064.webp?v=1770528958","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/jewish-volunteers-the-international-brigades-and-the-spanish-civil-war-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
