The Tragedy of a Generation is the story of a failed ideal: an autonomous Jewish nation in Europe. It traces the origins of two influential strains of Jewish thought--Yiddishism and Diaspora Nationalism--and documents the waning hopes and painful reassessments of their leading representatives against the rising tide of Nazism and the Holocaust.
