Joint Lecture Series 2004-2005
Wiener
Library, Centre for German-Jewish Studies and Leo Baeck Institute
For the first
time, Britain's leading institutions for the study of German-speaking
Jewry and the Holocaust have combined to present a programme of
public lectures.
Drawing on the strengths of these three renowned institutions, the
lectures pose a series of probing questions: How did Jews in the
aftermath of the Shoah deal with feelings of revenge? In what ways
does the concept of trauma help us to understand the life of individual
survivors? How did Christians and Jews live together in a German
city between 1933-1945? What can we say about coercion and consent
during the Third Reich?
|
The Leo Baeck Institute/Wiener Library
Lecture Series 2003/2004 has been most successful, drawing
capacity audiences of up to 150 people. Among the contributors were
Steven Aschheim, Robert Wistrich, Ignacio Klich, Ute Deichmann, Joanna
Bourke, Cilly Kugelmann, Alistair Davidson, Nicolas Berg, Sigrid Weigel
and Carlo Ginzburg. |
