- Challenging dominant research paradigms on the German-Jewish 1930s and migration issues, Years of Uncertainty draws on extensive archival research in the Central Zionist Archives, Joint Archives, Bundesarchiv, League of Nations Archives, Leo Baeck Institute New York, London Metropolitan Archives, The Political Archive of the German Foreign Office, Yad Vashem Archives. Research was supported by the Hans Boeckler Foundation (2013-2016), the Simon Dubnow Institute and the Saxon Government (Germany). By combining various sources such as institutional records, diaries, letters, memoirs and newspapers, the study, 130,000 words long, offers new perspectives on the German-Jewish 1930s.

- English abstract
- In this book Jewish reactions to emigration questions in Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1938 are comprehensively investigated. These reactions are analyzed on four levels: emigration assistance by Jewish institutions; emigration plans by Jewish organizations; public debates in newspapers, pamphlets and books; perceptions of the ordinary Jewish population. Responses are placed within the context of the historical experiences of Jewish emancipation, migration and politics in the emancipation era, and the transnational constellations of the Jewish present. This approach counteracts an assumption that the 1930s are only conceivable as a pre-history of the Holocaust. It is written in German.
