"Masked Ball at the White Cross Cafe examines the efforts of Hungarian Jews to assimilate after emancipation, between 1867-1920. Foremost, the book is written from the non-Jewish perspective. The purpose of the book is to expose the real issue at stake after emancipation, which gave rise to the Jewish Question: The assimilation of the Jews into the host society with the imperative to "become just like us." Crucial to understanding the pivotal role of assimilation is the centuries leading up to 1867. Chapters on the era of Toleration, the Enlightenment, and the Liberal Era provide this grounding."--Jacket.
