Rethinking Jewishness in Weimar Cinema
The burgeoning film industry in the Weimar Republic was, among other things, a major site of German-Jewish experience, one that provided a sphere for Jewish “outsiders” to shape mainstream culture. The chapters collected in this volume deploy new historical, theoretical, and methodological approaches to understanding the significant involvement of German Jews in Weimar cinema. Reflecting upon different conceptions of Jewishness – as religion, ethnicity, social role, cultural code, or text – these studies offer a wide-ranging exploration of an often overlooked aspect of German film history.

The result is these stunning photos, the people documented in all its beauty and naturalness, from young to old.

A Message from Jackie A. Strange Former Deputy Postmaster General United States Postal Service Never before in our history has there been a greater need for individuals to embrace the revitalization and enforcement of ethics.

Space and Spatiality in Modern German-Jewish History
What makes a space Jewish? This wide-ranging volume revisits literal as well as metaphorical spaces in modern German history to examine the ways in which Jewishness has been attributed to them both within and outside of Jewish communities, and what the implications have been across different eras and social contexts. Working from an expansive concept of “the spatial,” these contributions look not only at physical sites but at professional, political, institutional, and imaginative realms, as well as historical Jewish experiences of spacelessness. Together, they encompass spaces as varied as early modern print shops and Weimar cinema, always pointing to the complex intertwining of German and Jewish identity.
Havanna
Kuba - der faszinierende Inselstaat in der Karibik - ist Thema eines weiteren großformatigen Bildbandes des Fotografen Peter Voss. Auf seinen Kubareisen hatte es ihm Havanna - Hauptstadt des Landes und größte Metropole der Karibik - mit ihrem morbiden Charme am meisten angetan, was nicht verwundert, denn die Stadt ist eines von sieben Weltwundern und die Altstadt mit ihren urbanen Kontrasten zählt bereits seit 1982 zum UNESCO-Welterbe. Gehen Sie mit auf die Reise und lassen Sie sich von den vielen beeindruckenden Großaufnahmen der Altstadt Havannas ebenso in den Bann ziehen.
