Ghosts of Home
In the Ukraine, east of the Carpathian Mountains, there is an invisible city. Known as Czernowitz, the 'Vienna of the East' under the Habsburg empire, this Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after WWII - yet an idealized version lives on. This book chronicles the city's survival in personal, familial, and cultural memory.

Jüdische Frauen in der bildenden Kunst I
35 Jahre lebte Hedwig Brenner in Israel, in Haifa. Ein bescheidenes Leben führte sie in der neuen Heimat, erst sehr spät, wurde sie Schriftstellerin. Familienbiographien schrieb sie und vor allem entstanden durch ihre Energie und ihren Arbeitseifer Lexika über Jüdische Frauen in der bildenden Kunst. Ca. 1350 jüdische Künstlerinnen nahm sie in diese Nachschlagewerke auf. Recherchiert hat sie in der ganzen Welt über mehrere Jahre, um diese künstlerischen Lebensbilder zusammenzubekommen. Längst gestorbene, in Konzentrationslagern umgekommene, noch lebende Frauen in aller Welt und junge jüdische Künstlerinnen vereinte sie in diesen Werken. Eine großartige Arbeit hat die fast 99jährige Hedwig Brenner, für die Zukunft geschaffen!
Women, Femininity and Public Space in European Visual Culture, 1789–1914
Focusing on images of or produced by nineteenth-century European women, this volume explores genteel femininity as resistant to easy codification vis-à-vis the public.

By considering works in a range of media by an array of canonical and understudied women artists, they demonstrate that definitions of both femininity and the public were mutually defining and constantly shifting.

The Memory Factory
The Memory Factory introduces an English-speaking public to the significant women artists of Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century, each chosen for her aesthetic innovations and participation in public exhibitions. These women played important public roles as exhibiting artists, both individually and in collectives, but this history has been silenced over time. Their stories show that the city of Vienna was contradictory and cosmopolitan: despite men-only policies in its main art institutions, it offered a myriad of unexpected ways for women artists to forge successful public careers. Women artists came from the provinces, Russia, and Germany to participate in its vibrant art scene. Ho...
Resettlers and Survivors
Located on the border of present-day Romania and Ukraine, the historical region of Bukovina was the site of widespread displacement and violence as it passed from Romanian to Soviet hands and back again during World War II. This study focuses on two groups of “Bukovinians”—ethnic Germans and German-speaking Jews—as they navigated dramatically changed political and social circumstances in and after 1945. Through comparisons of the narratives and self-conceptions of these groups, Resettlers and Survivors gives a nuanced account of how they dealt with the difficult legacies of World War II, while exploring Bukovina’s significance for them as both a geographical location and a “place of memory.”
