"In the wake of the Nazi regime's policies, European Jewish cultural property was dispersed, dislocated, and destroyed. Books, manuscripts, and artworks were either taken by their fleeing owners and were transferred to different places worldwide, or they fell prey to systematic looting and destruction under German occupation. The volume illuminates the political and cultural implications of this displaced property by presenting essays with newly discovered archival material and illustrations"--

Jewish Cultural Property After 1945

Contested Heritage

Barbara Honigmann ist eine der bedeutendsten deutschen Schriftstellerinnen unserer Zeit. Sie zeichnet in ihrem Werk die Konturen unserer Zeit nach: die Zäsur von 1945, die Frage nach der Literatur im Angesicht der Shoah, und das Leben in Europa nach der politischen Wende von 1989. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge von WissenschaftlerInnen, die in Deutschland, Israel und den USA die Literatur Honigmanns im Zusammenhang der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte und der zeitgenössischen deutsch-jüdischen Literatur lesen. Da sich Barbara Honigmann in ihrem Werk auch dem heutigen Amerika oder dem Leben im multikulturellen Europa zuwendet, umfassen diese Essays zudem Fragen der Literatur und Kultur im Zeitalter der wachsenden Globalisierung und Neuorientierung in Politik und Gesellschaft.

Kurz Hinter Der Wahrheit und Dicht Neben Der Lüge

The 2017 edition of the Simon Dubnow Institute Yearbook encompasses two focal points: The first deals with the year 1938, an incisive year for Europe’s Jews, against the background of Jewish experiences and political activities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. On the basis of issues surrounding citizenship, minority rights, flight, and migration, this dramatic crisis is cast in a new light, with the focus placed especially on the states of Central and Eastern Europe. The second focal point takes the enduring surge in biographical research as an impetus to examine the reasons for the popularity of this genre within Jewish Studies. Using examples from current research projects on Jewish intellectuals, core issues and challenges of biographical writing are presented and discussed. The general part and the special sections of the Yearbook contain contributions on the conjunction of political and religious history, on the study of nationalism and historical semantics, as well as on Sholem Aleichem, Franz Neumann, and Ernst Grumach.

Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation Series, 6 (History of International Relations Library, 27) Haifa Before & After 1948, Narratives of a Mixed City is a voyage that 14 scholars and experts undertake through the cultural, political and social history of Haifa before and after the 1948 War. This volume, co-authored by Palestinians and Israelis - Arabs and Jews, mostly Israeli citizens, covers Haifa's architecture and its social and cultural life during the Mandate period, the Arab-Israeli competition in the oil and soap industries, the history of Arab-Jewish inter-communal relations and cohabitation, commemoration in the German Colony of Haifa, the story of two houses that represent the narrative of Palestinians in Haifa and remembrances displayed through personal accounts of the cold winter in 1950. In this remarkable project, Jews and Palestinians, write together the history and memory of the city of Haifa. Rather than presenting incommensurable national narratives, they offer a fresh and inspiring alternative: each article is co-authored by Arabs and Jews, thus turning the art of research and writing into a bi-national practice. Addressing 1948 as a benchmark, is crucial particularly today in facilitating not only a new reading of the political story, but also offering political possibilities. Haifa Before & After 1948 is an inspirational book that deserves to be read by everyone who is interested in the history and memory of bi-national societies.
