Abraham Rubin joined the LBI to present his latest book, Conversion and Catastrophe in German-Jewish Émigré Autobiography (2024, University of Toronto Press).
Conversion and Catastrophe in German-Jewish Émigré Autobiography is a collective biography of German-Jewish converts to Christianity, who recounted their spiritual and confessional journeys against the backdrop of the Holocaust and its aftermath. The book explores how Jewish emigrants interpreted their experiences of persecution and displacement through the hermeneutics of Christian conversion.
