Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course will examine the history and culture of the Jews of the Balkan Peninsula in the period between the late Enlightenment (1780s) and the immediate aftermath of the Shoah (1945-1950). Through the critical analysis of various contemporaneous religious and literary texts, treaties, laws and political accounts, this course aims to both explore the key events and themes of Balkan Jewish History and to situate this history within the wider historical experience of European Jewry.
After initially exploring the origins of Balkan Jewry, with its diverse and overlapping Sephardi, Ashkenazi and Romaniot traditions, the course will examine Jewish institutions of self-government as well as Jewish relations with the surrounding Gentile society. Particular attention will be paid to the contentious questions of assimilation, religious reform, secular education, legal emancipation, Zionism and political and racial antisemitism. The course will close with the Second World War, the implementation of the Final Solution in the Balkans and the reemergence of Jewish life after the Shoah.
