One thinks of Wiesel's \u003ci\u003eNight\u003c\/i\u003e or Levi's \u003ci\u003eSurvival in Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e. But in 1927, years before these works were written, Joseph Roth (1894-1939) composed \u003ci\u003eThe Wandering Jews\u003c\/i\u003e. In these stunning dispatches written when Roth was a correspondent in Berlin during the whirlwind period of Weimar Germany, he warned of the false comforts of Jewish assimilation, laid bare the schism between Eastern and Western Jews, and at times prophesied the horrors posed by Nazism. \u003ci\u003eThe Wandering Jews\u003c\/i\u003e remains as vital today as when it was first published. \"[A] book of impassioned reportage and polemic...it is impossible not to feel a sympathetic wonder.\"—Michael Andre Bernstein, \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e \"In these disturbing yet strikingly illuminating pages, the truth of Jewish destiny from long ago vibrates and sings...\"—Elie Wiesel \"No other writer...has come so close to achieving the wholeness that Lukacs cites as our impossible aim.\"—Nadine Gordimer \"What a marvelous writer!
