Overview
Credits: 15.0
Overlap: None
Prerequisite: NoneIn the period covered by this module, from 1871 to the present, interactions between Gentiles and Jews in
Germany underwent a dramatic and unprecedented set of upheavals. What were the main problems, struggles and
achievements in this period of German-Jewish history? This course will initially focus on debating the chances
and limits of emancipation and assimilation of Jews in Imperial Germany and on discussing the so-called Jewish
Renaissance in the Weimar Republic. A survey of the expansion and the role of antisemitism and its political
manifestations in German society will provide a platform for studying the Nazi take-over of power and the
Holocaust. The module concludes with the post-war history of Jews in Germany, addressing contemporary
challenges such as the integration of Russian-speaking Jews and the future of German Jewry.Assessment: 100.0% Coursework
