Thomas Kovach - German-Jewish Writers from the 1800s to the Present

This course explores German-Jewish texts starting in the eighteenth century and continuing until the present day. It examines how issues of identity are addressed by the writers, as well as how these writers are viewed by the general (largely non-Jewish) population. Though there is a rich tradition of writings in German by Jewish authors leading up to the early twentieth century and the beginning of the Nazi era, clearly this topic is still overshadowed by our knowledge of the Holocaust. For many Jews throughout the world the notion of a rebirth of Jewish life in Germany was unthinkable, but it has nevertheless taken place; in the 1990s (due mainly to the large influx of emigrants from the former Soviet Union) Germany was home to the world’s fastest-growing Jewish population.
