Reparations and the Reconstruction of Jewish Livelihoods in Postwar West Germany
This article looks at the relationship between reparations and the reconstruction of Jewish livelihoods in West Germany, focusing on businesses. Reparations were a vital source of capital for the many Jewish businesses (re-)established after the war. Indeed, without them, the postwar Jewish (re-)turn to entrepreneurship would undoubtedly have been smaller. However, reparations did not provide enough capital, or provide it in a timely enough manne…
The Architecture of Jewish Trade in Postwar Germany: Jewish Shops and Shopkeepers between Provisionality and Permanence
Scholarship on Jewish life in postwar Germany has consistently stressed a “provisional way of life”: an attitude that minimized commitments to the surrounding German world and always left open the possibility of leaving. This article revisits the provisionality thesis from the perspective of spatial history, focusing on Munich’s Möhlstrasse marketplace, a commercial district established by Eastern European Jews in the late 1940s. Spatial practice…
Between National Socialism and Soviet Communism: Displaced Persons in Postwar Germany
"Though its primary focus is on the immediate postwar, Between National Socialism and Soviet Communism will surely illuminate the contemporary crisis around citizenship and definitions of Germanness in the context of European Union and globalization." ---Geoff Eley, University of Michigan In May of 1945, there were more than eight million "displaced persons" (or DPs) in Germany---recently liberated foreign workers, concentration camp prisoners, a…

It addresses a number of questions about anticommunism, displaced communities, and the development of the Cold War. It illuminates the central role that anticommunism played in the self-definition of displaced Eastern Europeans, providing a communal alibi for the predicament of displacement as well as a program for overcoming this predicament.…

Displacement and the Post-war Reconstruction of Education: Displaced Persons at the UNRRA University of Munich, 1945–1948
In the first years after the Second World War, Munich was home to a unique institution, the UNRRA University. Created by and for Europe's displaced persons, the university was defined as a new kind of educational institution, dedicated to the cause of reviving humanism and promoting internationalism. By virtue of their experiences of occupation, persecution and dislocation, the university argued, displaced persons were uniquely qualified to spear…
