Abstract

Efraim Sevela was a Russian Jewish émigré who lived in a variety of countries in the West, including Germany. His view of Germany was controversial, and did not fit the prevailing stereotypes. He recognised that post-WWII Germany acknowledged the Nazi atrocities, but felt that Germans had become atomised and still regarded those who were not German as inferior. At the same time, he implicitly praised Nazi Germans for their sense of ethnic solidarity, and even implied that Israeli Jews should follow the same template to ensure their survival.
