Publications in the series
The first two titles in the Olamot Series in the Humanities and Social Sciences with Indiana University Press are:
"Shmuel Feiner describes a world populated not only by thinkers but by other sorts of people who reflect the spirit of a new age, even if they themselves are not particularly reflective. Drawing as much as possible on their own written testimony, while situating them within their disparate political, social, and intellectual enviornments, Feiner paints a comprehensive and compelling picture of a relatively negelected period of Jewish history." --Allan Arkush, The Jewish Review of Books
- Germans against Germans: A Jewish History, 1938–1945 by Moshe Zimmermann
- “A fascinating and extremely important book—not only because of its originality and daring, but also because it brings to life historical discussion.”—Boaz Neumann, Haaretz
