Abstract

Given what we know about Nazi crimes of violence, it is hard for us to imagine encounters between Jews and non-Jews after 1945. Yet many connections developed between Holocaust survivors, refugees, hangers-on, observers, and profiteers. The volume examines relationships in civil society between Jewish and non-Jewish Germans from a historical and cultural historical perspective. In Anbetracht des Wissens um die nationalsozialistischen Gewaltverbrechen sind Begegnungen zwischen Juden und Nicht-Juden nach 1945 heute nur schwer vorstellbar. Dennoch gab es in der Bundesrepublik zahlreiche Verbindungen zwischen Holocaust-Überlebenden, Flüchtlingen, Mitläufern, Zuschauern und Profiteuren. Der Band behandelt zivilgesellschaftliche Beziehungen zwischen Juden und nichtjüdischen Deutschen aus einer historischen und kulturgeschichtlichen Perspektive. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes beschäftigen sich mit der Frage, wie diese Akteure in ihrem sozialen Umfeld, im Privaten, in Religionsgemeinschaften, in der Wissenschaft, aber auch im Bereich des Wirtschaftens miteinander in eine Beziehung treten und welche Themen dabei verhandelt werden. Unter welchen Voraussetzungen fanden diese Begegnungen statt, welche handlungsleitenden Momente und Erfahrungen, aber auch welche Interpretationen der Begegnungserfahrungen lassen sich nachzeichnen?

Abstract

"The Eichmann Trial Reconsidered brings together leading authorities in a transnational, international, and supranational study of Adolf Eichmann, who was captured by the Israelis in Argentina and tried in Jerusalem in 1961. The essays in this important new collection span the disciplines of history, film studies, political science, sociology, psychology, and law. Contributing scholars adopt a wide historical lens, pushing outwards in time and space to examine the historical and legal influence that Adolf Eichmann and his trial held for Israel, West Germany, and the Middle East. In addition to taking up the question of what drove Eichmann, contributors explore the motivation of prosecutors, lawyers, diplomats, and neighbouring countries before, during, and after the trial ended. The Eichmann Trial Reconsidered puts Eichmann at the centre of an exploration of German versus Israeli jurisprudence, national Israeli identities and politics, and the conflict between German, Israeli, and Arab states."--

Abstract

While social change regarding trans(sexuality) has evolved within an expanding nexus of concepts, practices, regulations and institutions, this process has barely been analysed systematically. Against the background of legislative processes on gender recognition in a society shaped by heteronormative hegemony, Adrian de Silva traces how sexology, the law, federal politics and the trans movement interacted to generate or challenge concepts of trans(sexuality) from the mid-1960s to 2014 in the Federal Republic of Germany. The interdisciplinary study draws upon and contributes to debates in (trans)gender and queer studies, political science, sociology of law, sexology and the social movement. »Das vorliegende Buch leistet einen wertvollen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Debatten um Trans(sexualität) in der Bundesrepublik. Hochaktuell.« Anson Koch-Rein, www.querelles.net, 20/1 (2019)

Abstract

At the end of the Second World War, some 12 million German refugees and expellees fled or were expelled from their homelands in Eastern and Central Europe into what remained of the former Reich. The task of integrating these dispossessed refugees and expellees in post-war Germany was one of the most daunting challenges facing the Allied occupying authorities after 1945.The first study in English of the economic, social and political integration of the German refugees and expellees in post-war Germany, this book is based on extensive research in German archives and also incorporates the findings of numerous local and regional studies undertaken by German scholars. While its main focus is on the German Federal Republic, the book also provides coverage of the refugee problem in the German Democratic Republic.This accessible book on a key aspect of post-war German history will be of particular interest to undergraduates of history, politics and German.

Abstract

How was the re-emerging Jewish religious practice after 1945 shaped by traditions before the Shoah? To what extent was it influenced by new inspirations through migration and new cultural contacts? By analysing objects like prayer books, musical instruments, Torah scrolls, audio documents and prayer rooms, this volume shows how the post-war communities created new Jewish musical, architectural and artistic forms while abiding by the tradition. This peer-reviewed volume presents contributions to the conference „Jewish communities in Germany in Transition", held in July 2021, as well as the results of a related research project carried out by two university institutions and two museums: the Bet Tfila – Research Unit for Jewish Architecture (Technische Universität Braunschweig), the European Center for Jewish Music (Hanover University for Music, Drama and Media), the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum, and the Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia. For the first time, post war synagogues in Germany and their objects were researched on a broad and interdisciplinary basis – regarding history of architecture, art history of their furniture and ritual objects as well as liturgy and musicology. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) during the years 2018 to 2021 in its funding line „The Language of Objects".

Abstract

According to Walter Benjamin, the past that is not recognized by the present threatens to disappear irretrievably. As a consequence, photographs cannot save the moment from oblivion by pure depiction alone, but only by keeping the depicted moment actual at every present moment. Instead of counting on the documentary quality of photography that speaks in the past tense of "what has been", Silke Helmerdig suggests a different approach to photography: an extension of a future subjunctive (photographic) tense speaking of "what could be, if", allowing one to think possible futures instead of harking back to the past.

Abstract

In keinem anderen Abschnitt der deutschen Nachkriegszeit wurden Vorstellungen von Gesellschaftsstrukturen so intensiv auf visueller Ebene verhandelt wie in den Jahren 1945-1948. Insbesondere Bilder zu Themen wie Hygiene und Gesundheit, Ernährung und Hausarbeit fungierten als Projektionsfläche für den Übergang von Mangel- und Ausnahmeerscheinungen hin zu einem »normalen« Gesellschaftsleben und zu traditionellen Geschlechterrollen. Wie Magdalena Saryusz-Wolska und Anna Labentz zeigen, lässt sich anhand von öffentlich zugänglichen Bildern aus Illustrierten, Frauenzeitschriften, Werbung, Ausstellungen, Propagandaplakaten und exemplarischen Filmen der facettenreiche, oft widersprüchliche Prozess der Rückkehr zur Normalität nachvollziehen. Besprochen in: H-Soz-u-Kult, 18.09.2017, Leonie Treber
