"Interview avec Ralph Bisschops, Ph. D. (par Jacqueline Wiener-Henrion) sur ses recherches et travaux sur Samuel Holdheim et la Synagogue Libérale de Berlin.
L'interview mentionne également d'autres personnalités comme: Moïse Mendelssohn, Leopold Zunz, Zacharias Frankel, Abraham Geiger, Jacob Ettlinger, David Einhorn, Kaufmann Kohler et Marcus Horovitz.
Ralph Bisschops a consacré dix ans de recherches à Holdheim et arrive à la conclusion que l'image de Holdheim comme assimilationiste radical est erronée.  Elle fut créée pas ses adversaires."
L'ouvrage recensé représente une approche intentionaliste de la Shoah. Le compte-rendu est suivi d'une interview avec Georges Miedzianagora, un des auteurs de l'ouvrage.
Témoignage saisissant d'un rescapé de la Shoah.

Based on the records of Vatican archives — the Roman Inquisition, the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith and the Congregation of the Council, this article analyzes the policy of the Roman Catholic Church towards mixed marriages in multi-confessional European regions with special attention to Germany. Taking as an example the marriage alliance of Wolfgang Wilhelm of Neuburg and Katherina Charlotte of Zweibrücken I show how interweaving politics and religion influenced the dynamics of constructing and negotiating confessional boundaries as well as the actors’ strategies for shifting and overcoming these boundaries.  Extending my analysis to the broader German context, I show how mixed marriages suffered from an underlying tension and created some significant problems because they contradicted customary law and did not obey the rule of patriarchy. Because the search for solutions allowed — and sometimes required — the involvement of the secular authorities to control and reduce the potential for conflict, mixed marriages played a crucial role in enforcing secularization.
