Abstract
ABSTRACT During the First World War, Jews interned in Germany struggled to keep kosher. The British government initially funded a kosher food programme for its own interned nationals, but it removed all government monies in late 1915. The British government’s refusal to take responsibility for the proper feeding of its Jewish subjects held as ‘enemy aliens’ was both shaped by and bolstered assumptions that Jews could never be truly British. However, it was also a response to tensions evident within the Anglo-Jewish community about how its members could best demonstrate their good citizenship.
期刊介绍：
Immigrants & Minorities, founded in 1981, provides a major outlet for research into the history of immigration and related studies. It seeks to deal with the complex themes involved in the construction of "race" and with the broad sweep of ethnic and minority relations within a historical setting. Its coverage is international and recent issues have dealt with studies on the USA, Australia, the Middle East and the UK. The journal also supports an extensive review section.
