Introducing a Virtual Approach to European Jewish Spaces in the Twenty-First Century
Thomas Sparr, German Jerusalem: The Remarkable Life of a German-Jewish Neighbourhood in the Holy City
Introduction: Jewish cultural heritage, space and mobility in Spain, Portugal and North Africa
M arion K aplan . Hitler’s Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal
Marion Kaplan is the Skirball Professor of Modern Jewish History at New York University. In 2008, she published Dominican Haven: The Jewish Refugee Settlement in Sosúa, 1940–1945.

Werner Richard Heymann in Hollywood: A case study of German-Jewish emigration after 1933 as a transnational experience
This contribution presents aspects of the life and work of the pianist and composer Werner Richard Heymann (1896–1961) and asks what the experience of that exile in Los Angeles – frightening and exhilarating at the same time – meant for him. In order to better understand his role in the transatlantic exchange of musical and literary ideas and practices, his particular story will be placed in the wider framework of transnationalism as a specific e…
Contemporary Sephardic Studies. An introduction
Jewish Culture and History is a forum in which new trends in research and debate can be presented and discussed, for the interest of the wide and varied community in Jewish Studies. While new topic
Heimat im Koffer.« – »Oder über das Emigrantendasein. (Falls nicht zu traurig).«
The idea to create and stage a play called »Heimat im Koffer« – »A home in the suitcase« – emerged, I presume, in Vienna shortly before Austria became part of National Socialist Germany in 1938: the plot involved the magical translocation of a typical Viennese coffeehouse, with all its inhabitants and with the songs they sang, to New York; their confrontation with American everyday life and musical traditions would create the humorous situations …
Jewish Migration and the Archive: Introduction
Means of transport and storage: Suitcases and other containers for the memory of migration and displacement
Several exhibitions in recent years – in the ‘Deutsches Auswandererhaus’ Bremerhaven and other museums in Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States – have used suitcases (and ‘the suitcase’) as a central symbol and metaphor for the migration process. Based on a variety of examples, the article discusses the idea and the use of memory containers – and their function as archives – in the context of emigration, transmigration, an…

Tel Aviv: (With Its) Back to the Sea
A “mock trial” charging “the Jewish people” with a “lack of seamanship” was organized by the Zevulun Seafaring Society in the city of Tel‐Aviv on 19 May 1938. This curious event forms the starting point for a discussion of the role of the sea and the port for the images and self‐images of Tel Aviv, both in the 1930s and today. The city on the Mediterranean built its first streets and houses a hundred years ago, “with its back to the sea”. The sma…

Memory in Berlin: A short walk
Last October I moved to Southampton, ‘City of the Titanic’ – what a strange way to advertise a place. The memory of the sunken ship is still very much alive. I did keep my apartment in Berlin, though, and from time to time I manage to spend a couple of days there. From a distance, the city looks and feels different. When I go shopping in my favourite market hall or for a latte macchiato in Café Atlantic, I try not to step on the stones laid in th…
It has to go away, but at the same time it has to be kept’: The Berlin Wall and the making of an urban icon
For 28 years, from 13 August 1961 through 9 November 1989, the city of Berlin was divided by a wall. The borderline was the symbol for the Cold War and the political partition between East and West – but it was also an element of the urban structure: Berliners in the two parts of the city had to live with it and to define themselves in relation to it. After the fall of the wall and its destruction in the euphoric mood of re-unification, a huge in…
Das Ich der Stadt: Debatten über Judentum und Urbanität, 1822-1938
This book is the published version of the author’s Habilitation thesis at Potsdam University. It uses a broad inter-disciplinary approach and a variety of methods in order to analyze one of the most important and long-lasting images about modern Jewish culture: the idea of modern Jews as “city-dwellers par excellence” (to use a quotation by Karl Kautsky). In a variety of contexts, we can find the notion that “Jews have always been an extraordinar…
From remnants to realities: Is there something beyond a "Jewish Disneyland" in Eastern Europe
Between Appropriating and Keeping Our Distance
'What am I doing here?' During the preparation for this conference, 'Feeling at home in exile', I was able to accept the invitation to give a lecture, but for various reasons was not in a position to provide a clever title for it. When this proposal came I simply accepted and thought, something will turn up. Since then I have become more sceptical. At any rate, the theme 'majority and minority' should run through the text. But perhaps I will begi…
