In the historiography on modern politics, Jews were mostly treated as an object of politics. Thus, the discussions focused primarily on issues like emancipation and antisemitism. While this lecture will still include these issues, it will also concentrate much more on the politics by and for Jews. This incorporates Jewish reactions to general political developments, but also the actual political activities of Jews. After all, modern politics also meant the growing participation and involvement of Jews in political processes.
This lecture will cover the time from the end of the WWI up to the Berlin Republic of today. The lecture will be in English.
