The Wandering Jews

The Wandering Jews (German: Juden auf Wanderschaft) is a short non-fiction book (1926–27) by Joseph Roth about the plight of the Jews in the mid-1920s, who had fled to the West from Lithuania, Poland, and Russia, with other refugees and displaced persons in the aftermath of World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the redrawing of national frontiers following the Treaty of Versailles.

In the last five months of 1926, Roth visited the Soviet Union, where he wrote the final section, The Condition of the Jews in Soviet Russia.

Walter Jens called it the best book on its subject in German.

An English translation by Michael Hofmann was published in 2001.
