It discusses cultural identity and assimilation and provides a profound account of Ludwig Bendix’s life as a lawyer and critic of the German judicial system, his identification with German culture and his emigration to Palestine during Hitler’s regime. Bendix then examines the relationship with his father and details his youth in Germany, his emigration to America, and his early career as a scholar. Covering the period from 1877 to the 1980s, Bendix shows how the two lives were touched by the culture of Imperial Germany, the German legal profession, World War I, the revolution of November 1918 in Germany and subsequent inflation, the Great Depression of the 1930s and the crisis of the Weimar Republic, the Hitler regime, emigration to Palestine and the United States, World War II, the division of Germany, and the world-political role of the United States. A moving exploration which melds sociological case study and family history, th is a significant measure of a family and a civilization.
