“… impressively comprehensive book…accomplishes a great deal. This Jewish presence represented a range of experience never before available for the German-speaking public’s consumption.” “Prawer makes a persuasive case that the corpus of Jewish characters, Jewish themes, Jewish motifs, and Jewish professionals in German film did constitute something unique. The strengths of this volume include its in-depth socio-historical background information on a great number of films, astute inter-filmic connections, and even some technical analysis.scholars in the field should consider Between Two Worlds a definitive resource on this topic." He successfully achieves his goal, while providing an excellent overview of popular genres of this period…In around 200 pages, Prawer accomplishes a great deal. "Prawer’s impressively comprehensive book aims to show ‘some of the ways in which Jews participated in the manifold work needed to create a film…-in harmony with non-Jewish colleagues amid a spattering of voices raised to discriminate between them’. Second, it interrogates the concept of the Jewish 'presence." First, it clearly establishes the massive contributions Jews made to the establishment of film as an art during the formative years of the motion picture, bringing needed recognition to Jewish producers, directors, composers, and writers.
