The New German Jewry and the European Context
Departing from the recent critical literature on the emergence of a new German Jewry, this volume proposes a new perspective on the post-1980s phenomenon of re-emerging Jewish culture in Germany as a case study for wider developments in Europe and the international context.

Migration, Citizenship, Ethnos
This collection of essays addresses three interrelated themes: the basic issues in contemporary German and European Migration since 1945 with particular focus on new developments in the 80s; the ways in which the citizenship debate has proceeded and how immigration and citizenship have been handled in Western Europe.
Juden in Deutschland - Deutschland in den Juden
Juden in Deutschland befinden sich heute an einem Wendepunkt: Die Überlebenden des Holocaust sterben und mit ihnen die authentische Erinnerung. Heute sind es die Kinder der russischsprachigen Einwanderer, die zahlreich nach Deutschland gekommen sind und hier mit großem Elan eine neue diasporische Kultur erschaffen. Auch das Umfeld jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland hat sich geändert. Durch die Einwanderung zahlreicher Türken und anderer Muslime sind Juden nicht mehr die einzige Minorität. Namhafte Autoren zeichnen ein differenziertes Bild von der deutschjüdischen Wirklichkeit im 21. Jahrhundert. Religiöse und Säkulare kommen zu Wort, Repräsentanten des deutschen Vorkriegsjudentums, nichtjüdische Deutsche und Beobachter aus Israel, Israel-Kritiker und Loyalisten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird deutlich, was in der Öffentlichkeit kaum wahrgenommen wird: dass die jüdische Gemeinschaft schon lange nicht mehr monolithisch, keineswegs politisch, kulturell und religiös homogen ist. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von: Maxim Biller, Michael Brenner, Esther Dischereit, Salomon Korn, Hazel Rosenstrauch, Julius Schoeps, Tom Segev, Moshe Zuckermann

The Work of Memory
Coming to terms with a troubled past is the mark of the modern condition. But how does memory operate? This powerful collection of original essays probes this question by focusing on Germany, where historical trauma and political turbulence over the past century have deeply scarred modern memory and identity. Tracing the role of memory in German history between the Reformation and reunification, contributors show how memory has a history and the presence of the past has historical context. With scholarly zeal and keen insight, these essays draw on ghost stories and the postwar fiction of Heinrich Böll, among other memory sites, escorting the reader through the streets of Alt Hildesheim and ...
Transcending Dystopia
"Transcending Dystopia features pioneering research on the role music played in its various connections to and contexts of Jewish communal life and cultural activity in Germany from 1945 to 1989. As the first history of the Jewish communities' musical practices during the postwar and Cold War eras, it tells the story of how the traumatic experience of the Holocaust led to transitions and transformations, and the significance of music in these processes. As such, it relies on music to draw together three areas of inquiry: the Jewish community, the postwar Germanys and their politics after the Holocaust (occupied Germany, the Federal Republic, the Democratic Republic, and divided Berlin), and ...
Subcontractors of Guilt
At the turn of the millennium, Middle Eastern and Muslim Germans had rather unexpectedly become central to the country's Holocaust memory culture—not as welcome participants, but as targets for re-education and reform. Since then, Turkish- and Arab-Germans have been considered as the prime obstacles to German national reconciliation with its Nazi past, a status shared to a lesser degree by Germans from the formerly socialist East Germany. It is for this reason that the German government, German NGOs, and Muslim minority groups have begun to design Holocaust education and anti-Semitism prevention programs specifically tailored for Muslim immigrants and refugees, so that they, too, can learn...
