Memoirs of Gerhard Langer
From standing next to Adolf Hitler at a construction site, to cornering a bear in a Army Post Exchange in Maine, to flying through thunderstorms in a small airplane while study freezing ice nuclei, Gerhard Langer has always had an uncanny knack for finding adventure. His memoirs describe 90 years of adventure-first as a Jewish "Mischling" (person of mixed racial status) in Nazi Germany, and then as a cowboy, scientist, husband and father, and avid hiker in the US. This straightforward and captivating life story paints a detailed picture of the struggle of surviving and thriving during the World War 2 era. Once the war was over Gerhard found himself homeless and jobless, but a citizen of the ...

The Price of Monotheism
Nothing has so radically transformed the world as the distinction between true and false religion. In this nuanced consideration of his own controversial Moses the Egyptian, renowned Egyptologist Jan Assmann answers his critics, extending and building upon ideas from his previous book. Maintaining that it was indeed the Moses of the Hebrew Bible who introduced the true-false distinction in a permanent and revolutionary form, Assmann reiterates that the price of this monotheistic revolution has been the exclusion, as paganism and heresy, of everything deemed incompatible with the truth it proclaims. This exclusion has exploded time and again into violence and persecution, with no end in sight. Here, for the first time, Assmann traces the repeated attempts that have been made to do away with this distinction since the early modern period. He explores at length the notions of primary versus secondary religions, of "counter-religions," and of book religions versus cultic religions. He also deals with the entry of ethics into religion's very core. Informed by the debate his own work has generated, he presents a compelling lesson in the fluidity of cultural identity and beliefs.

Mitöffentlichkeit
The focus of this representation of historical relationships is the German-German work of the Protestant Academy of Berlin/Brandenburg since its inception in 1951 until the end of the 1970s / start of the 1980s. It covered the literary field, the subject of 'coming to terms with the past' and the Christian-Jewish dialogue as an important field in the Nazi discussion. The exemplary character of the Academy provides a picture of the history of the (church's) process of coming to terms with the past, the history of literature and censorship, and new aspects of Christian-Jewish relationships in the GDR. The Academy was shaped by proximity and distance to state and church contexts. Major monitoring by the Stasi and conflicts with state bodies are an expression of this 'obstinacy'. As a Christian player, the Academy's many decades of work generated a special form of public, namely Mitöffentlichkeit, which is presented here for the first time and differentiates between the notions of public in the GDR.
