Description

During the Holocaust, Jewish communities and organizations tried to maintain their Jewish life in the ghettos (in the families, in the synagogues, in the schools) as far as it was possible. Leading historians are trying to move this still under-researched area to the center of discussion. Thus the Holocaust victims will not only be regarded as objects of the actions of others, but as subjects responsible for their own actions. The results of these investigations shall be presented during the symposium.

in German:
In der Zeit der Shoah versuchten jüdische Gemeinden und Organisationen in den Ghettos das jüdische Leben (in den Familien, in den Synagogen, in den Erziehungsinstitutionen) soweit wie möglich aufrecht zu erhalten. Verschiedene namhafte Historiker versuchen diese zum Teil in der Forschung bislang vernachlässigten Bereiche in das Zentrum ihrer Betrachtung zu stellen. Solcherart werden die Opfer der Shoah nicht nur als Objekte von Handlungen anderer gesehen, sondern als Subjekte, als Träger eigener Handlungen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschungen sollen im Rahmen des Symposiums vorgestellt werden.
