Erinnerung als Gratwanderung. Das Erbe der osteuropaischen Juden

In: Osteuropa, Band 58, Heft 8-10, S. 53-66

Abstract

Knowledge about the life of the East European Jews & the Shoah has grown in past decades. But the appropriate transmission of East European Jewish history & culture is highly demanding. Sometimes, there is a danger of remembrance of the Holocaust's victims sliding into commercialism & kitsch, & because Jewish life is often treated as a museum artifact, its renaissance ends up forgotten. Delphine Bechtel, Michael Brenner, Frank Golczewski, Rachel Heuberger, Francois Guesnet, Cilly Kugelmann, & Anna Lipphardt explain what kind of conclusions they have drawn from this balancing act for their work in museums, libraries, classrooms, & archives.
