Fatal Alliances
This chapter seeks to analyse the entanglement of exclusionist ideas in antisemitic and anti-feminist thought in Poland and Europe from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It will consider discriminatory politics, practices, and violence against women, Jews, and other groups that were perceived as ‘Other’, drawing on cases from Germany, Poland, and Hungary in a comparative approach. Since connections between exclusion, sexuality, and …
East German-Jewish Spaces in Berlin
Following the First World War and the loss of German territories in Posen, West Prussia and Silesia, many German Jews from those areas left their homes and settled either in Germany or moved to the USA, Latin America or Palestine. Quite a few of them came to Berlin. There and in other German cities as well they founded so called Heimatvereine , Jewish Heritage Societies. This article analyses the spaces those societies created – concrete spaces, …
Occupation as Social Practice and Ambiguous Space
This article evaluates the situation of two renowned scientists in Poland, namely the microbiologist and serologist Ludwik Hirszfeld (1884–1954), and the metallurgist Jan Czochralski (1885–1953), during the time of the German occupation from 1939–45. Both scientists strove to continue their scientific work even under the conditions of occupation but faced substantially different treatment by the occupiers: Hirszfeld was forced to live in the Wars…
Stoffe auf Reisen
At the beginning of the 20th century, research on material substances such as blood and metals was in high demand, as is apparent from the successful careers of the serologist Ludwik Hirszfeld (1884–1954) and the metallurgist Jan Czochralski (1885–1953). Both were leading experts of their time, their transnational biographies – spanning the German‐speaking countries and Poland – were remarkably similar, and they both played important roles in the…
Migration, Transfer und Nation
The limits and merits of internationalism
Employing the example of two Polish technical experts – the metallurgist Jan Czochralski and the architect-urbanist Szymon Syrkus, who both reached the peak of their careers in the Interwar period – this article sketches a particular space of expertise in the newly developing states of Central Europe after 1918 and in Poland in particular. For experts like Czochralski and Syrkus a new and pronounced state activity helped to create a space of oppo…
Wissenschaftler in Bewegung
Researcher in Motion: The Materials Scientist Jan Czochralski between the Wars The text focuses on the materials scientist Jan Czochralski (1885–1953). While working in the metal-laboratories of AEG in Berlin and the Metallgesellschaft in Frankfurt/Main during the years 1908–1928, Czochralski was the author of some major inventions before he transferred his expertise to Warsaw where he held several positions in research institutions and became a …
