Events & Calendars "People of the Air: The Spatial Experience of Jews in the Third Reich"

Following the Nazification of the German public space which led to their exclusion, Jews came to terms with the new situation in the streets and the plazas, on the roads and in a variety of public institutions (such as public libraries), as well as in open nature. Professor Guy Miron will elaborate on case studies in this context, such as the experience of Jews as drivers in Nazi Germany and the ways Jewish intellectuals coped with their exclusion from public libraries. He will present the ways in which the use of Jewish spaces-- predominantly synagogues and cemeteries --was transformed and loaded with new meanings in the Third Reich. His talk will also analyze the changing domestic experiences and perceptions of home among German Jews under the Nazi regime.
