Erika Mann
Thomas Mann nannte sie sein «kühnes, herrliches Kind»: die älteste Tochter Erika, geboren am 9. November 1905 und gestorben am 27. August 1969. Sie machte Schlagzeilen als Schauspielerin und Autorin, als Autorennfahrerin, Kabarettistin und Vortragsrednerin, schließlich sogar als Kriegsreporterin. Und sie faszinierte ihre Zeitgenossen durch ihren Scharfsinn, ihren Mut und ihre Wortgewandtheit. Irmela von der Lühe veröffentlichte 1993 die erste große Biographie Erika Manns, die zum Standardwerk wurde. Der vorliegende Band ist eine stark erweiterte, grundlegend überarbeitete Fassung des Buches – mit zahlreichen bisher unbekannten Dokumenten.

The German-Jewish Experience Revisited
In the past decades the “German-Jewish phenomenon” (Derrida) has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars from various fields: Jewish studies, intellectual history, philosophy, literary and cultural studies, critical theory. In all its complex dimensions, the post-enlightenment German-Jewish experience is overwhelmingly regarded as the most quintessential and charged meeting of Jews with the project of modernity. Perhaps for this reason, from the eighteenth century through to our own time it has been the object of intense reflection, of clashing interpretations and appropriations. In both micro and macro case-studies, this volume engages the multiple perspectives as advocated by manifold interested actors, and analyzes their uses, biases and ideological functions over time in different cultural, disciplinary and national contexts. This volume includes both historical treatments of differing German-Jewish understandings of their experience – their relations to their Judaism, general culture and to other Jews – and contemporary reflections and competing interpretations as to how to understand the overall experience of German Jewry.
A History of Jews in Germany Since 1945
A comprehensive account of Jewish life in a country that carries the legacy of being at the epicenter of the Holocaust. Originally published in German in 2012, this comprehensive history of Jewish life in postwar Germany provides a systematic account of Jews and Judaism from the Holocaust to the early 21st Century by leading experts of modern German-Jewish history. Beginning in the immediate postwar period with a large concentration of Eastern European Holocaust survivors stranded in Germany, the book follows Jews during the relative quiet period of the 50s and early 60s during which the foundations of new Jewish life were laid. Brenner’s volume goes on to address the rise of anti-Israel s...
Embodied Memory
In Embodied Memory, Anat Feinberg offers the first English-language study of the controversial dramatist George Tabori. A Jewish-Hungarian playwright and novelist, Tabori is a unique figure in postwar German theatre -- one of the few theatre people since Bertolt Brecht to embody "the ideal union" of playwright, director, theatre manager, and actor. Revered as a "theatre guru, " Tabori's career, first in the United States and later in Germany, is fraught with controversy.
