Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book represents the first in-depth study of recent Jewish immigration from the former Soviet Union and its successor States to Berlin as the capital of the reunified Germany. It looks at the background of this unique migration and analyzes the ways in which the immigrants find their place in Germany during their first years of resettlement. The study uses both quantitative and qualitative research and assesses the capital and expectations of the immigrants, the institutional framework and the German authority's expectations and the resulting adaptation process which the immigrants go through.
