ABSTRACT
In the early 1920s you wrote many articles—in part politically oriented, in part oriented toward the history of ideas—that could be summed up under the bibliographical rubric “Judaica.” In Jewish newspapers and community bulletins you published articles on Lassalle and Marx, on Tolstoy and the German spirit, and on the Jewish philosophy of religion of Hermann Cohen. Some of these writings on the history of ideas were systematically collected in a long omnibus article, “Judaism and the German Spirit.” All these articles, if taken together, recall a thematically similar short article by Walter Benjamin on the role of the Jews in the recent German history of ideas. Could you tell me what you consider to be the uniting link of these essays?
