History of the German-Jewish Diaspora
Israel, Zionism and Diaspora, European-Jewish HistoryDuration: 2023-2025
Researchers: Lisa Sophie Gebhard, Miriam Rürup
Funding: Volkswagen Foundation
The book project and online database/edition History of the German-Jewish Diaspora is intended as a continuation of the acclaimed German-Jewish History in the Modern Era (ed. by Michael Brenner and Michael A. Meyer), published in five volumes by C.H.Beck. It is a project of the Wissenschaftlichen Arbeitsgemeinschaft des Leo Baeck Instituts (WAG), realized at the Moses Mendelssohn Center under the leadership of its director and spokesperson of the WAG, Prof. Dr. Miriam Rürup.
While the previous volumes dealt with Jewish life within the different German states, this volume of the Leo Baeck Institute's publication series will present a synthesis on German-Jewish history outside Germany: a history of the German-Jewish Diaspora as well as the afterlife of German-speaking Jewry after the Holocaust. The project is hybrid in nature and will be published as a book (anthology) on the one hand and as a website with a database and online edition on the other.
