“Jew or European” is one of many feuilletons that German-Jewish journalist Doris Wittner wrote for the “Jüdisch-liberale Zeitung,” the official paper of the Association for Liberal Judaism in Germany. Readers of Wittner’s cultural criticism learned about the talents of many prominent Jewish writers, artists, and performers. This feuilleton uses Henri Nathansen’s book about Danish-Jewish critic Georg Brandes as a point of departure for discussing antisemitism, Zionism, assimilation, and European Jewish identity.
