Jewish life and culture in Germany after 1945: sacred spaces, objects and musical traditions

Katrin Keßler,Sarah M. Ross,Barbara Staudinger,Lea Weik
How was the re-emerging Jewish religious practice after 1945 shaped by traditions before the Shoah? To what extent was it influenced by new inspirations through migration and new cultural contacts? By analysing objects like prayer books, musical instruments, Torah scrolls, audio documents and prayer rooms, this volume shows how the post-war communities created new Jewish musical, architectural and artistic forms while abiding by the tradition. This peer-reviewed volume presents contributions to the conference "Jewish communities in Germany in Transition", held in July 2021, as well as the results of a related research project carried out by two university institutions and two museums: the Bet Tfila - Research Unit for Jewish Architecture (Technische Universität Braunschweig), the European Center for Jewish Music (Hanover University for Music, Drama and Media), the Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum, and the Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia. For the first time, post war synagogues in Germany and their objects were researched on a broad and interdisciplinary basis - regarding history of architecture, art history of their furniture and ritual objects as well as liturgy and musicology. The project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) during the years 2018 to 2021 in its funding line "The Language of Objects".

German-Jewish thought between religion and politics: festschrift in honor of Paul Mendes-Flohr on the occasion of his seventieth birthday

Paul R. Mendes-Flohr
"Since the Enlightenment period, German-Jewish intellectuals have been prominent voices in the multi-facetted discourse on the reinterpretation of Jewish tradition in light of modern thinking. Paul Mendes-Flohr, one of the towering figures of current scholarship on German-Jewish intellectual history, has made invaluable contributions to a better understanding of the religious, cultural and political dimensions of these thinkers' encounter with German and European culture, including the tension between their loyalty to Judaism and the often competing claims of non-Jewish society and culture. This volume assembles essays by internationally acknowledged scholars in the field who intend to honor Mendes-Flohr's work by portraying the abundance of religious, philosophical, aesthetical and political aspects dominating the thinking of those famous thinkers populating German Jewry's rich and complex intellectual world in the modern period. It also provides a fresh theoretical outlook on trends in Jewish intellectual history, raising new questions concerning the dialectics of assimilation. In addition to that, the volume sheds light on thinkers and debates that hitherto have not been accorded full scholarly attention."--Publisher's website.

Jahre Der Entscheidung

Oswald Spengler
Oswald Spengler zeichnet in Jahre der Entscheidung ein schonungslos kritisches Bild der modernen westlichen Zivilisation. Das Abendland sei dem Verfall anheimgegeben und auf dem Weg in den Tod, vergiftet von übertriebenem Rationalismus, Mangel an funktionierenden Hierarchien und allgemein verbreiteter Entwurzelung. Spenglers Beobachtungen stammen aus dem Deutschland der Zwischenkriegszeit, einer Periode die von politischer Unruhe und wirtschaftlichem Chaos geprägt ist. Es war Spengler klar dass die Welt nach der internationalen Kraftprobe, die im Anzug war, kaum wiederzuerkennen sein würde. Er betrachtete unsere Zeit als die schicksalsträchtigste und ernsteste der menschlichen Geschichte - eine Phase in der die Bestimmung von Völkern und Nationen entschieden werden würde. Die Betrachtungen Spenglers in Jahre der Entscheidung sind weder auf Deutschland noch auf die Periode zwischen den Weltkriegen beschränkt. Er beschreibt globale Geschehnisse, die sich vom zwanzigsten Jahrhundert ein gutes Stück hinein ins einundzwanzigste erstrecken. Spengler nennt unsere Epoche Zeitalter der Weltkriege und meint, dass dieses Zeitalter mindestens bis ins erste Jahrhundert des zweiten Millenniums andauern würde. Jahre der Entscheidung wurde rasch ein Verkaufserfolg, als das Buch 1933 in Deutschland erschien. Einige Zeit später wurde es jedoch verboten, weil Spengler die nationalsozialistische Politik in verschiedener Hinsicht kritisierte; unter anderem teilte er keinesfalls deren rassenbiologische Ausgangslage. Die vorliegende Neuausgabe ist ein Faksimile der Originalauflage. Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), deutscher Historiker und Philosoph, ist vor allem für seine Theorie bekannt, wonach Zivilisationen sich nicht linear, sondern zyklisch entwickeln: sie werden geboren, blühen auf und sterben auf eine Weise, die an lebendige Wesen erinnert. Er entfaltete diese These in seinem Hauptwerk Der Untergang des Abendlandes, das in zwei Bänden 1918 beziehungsweise 1922 erschien.

Chronicle of a downfall: Germany, 1929-1939

Schwarzschild, Leopold
Few figures of interwar Germany were as influential as Leopold Schwarzschild, the brilliant editor of the liberal magazine 'Das Tage-Buch'. In the uncertain years of the Weimar Republic, Schwarzschild became famous for his perceptive political analyses and critique of the economic policies of successive governments in the twilight of Germany's first experiment with democracy. When he was forced to emigrate in 1933, following Hitler's rise to power, he pursued his analysis of developments in Germany from Paris, where he resumed publication of his journal under the new name 'Das Neue Tage-Buch', while also mounting a furious attack on the European powers taken by surprise by the Nazi ascendancy. 'One thing is already beyond question today...', he wrote in the spring of 1933, '...part of the new era is an unremitting descent into some kind of military conflagration'. Winston Churchill, a great admirer of Schwarzschild, made one of his later books required reading for the War Cabinet, yet his campaigning journalism has never before appeared in English. In bringing his writings to an English-speaking readership, Chronicle of a Downfall will restore Leopold Schwarzschild to his rightful place as one of the most poignant chroniclers of the fall of German democracy and the descent of Europe into World War II.
