About This Book

The study analyzes demographic, social, and economic factors behind a marked decline in a Jewish population in Germany, surveying historical sexual ethics, fertility norms, marriage behavior, migration and urbanization, occupational shifts, intermarriage, conversion, and mortality trends. Drawing on statistical material, the author links falling birthrates, delayed marriage, rising secularism, and integration into capitalist professions and female labor to assimilation and population loss. Separate chapters examine migration flows, urban consequences, and contested indicators of degeneration, and the work concludes by weighing possible remedies and offering a cautious prognosis that balances optimism and pessimism.
