Utdrag ur

Hence there existed a great deal of pressure, psychological as well as social, for assimilation, the end point of which was reached through intermarriage and the loss of Jewish identity. For many Jews bent on assimilation intermarriage became the vehicle of entry into the respectable echelons of the host society. By the same token, for those committed to "tradition," intermarriage became the ultimate symbol of Jewish withdrawal, and rejection of it served as the ultimate symbol of survivalism.
