Bilder des Jüdischen [PDF ebook] 
Selbst- und Fremdzuschreibungen im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert

In the spring of 2010, the weekly newspaper Die Zeit featured a headline story titled ‘Typically Jewish’ – and puncutated this headline with a question mark. While this headline speaks to the problems associated with identity as an analytical category, the reciprocal relationships between Jewish self-characterizations and outside attributions of Jewishness remain of key importance for understanding the history of German-Jewish relations. At the heart of this volume are fictional models of ‘Jewishness, ‘ distinctions between different Jewish groups, as well as an examination of how internal Jewish discourse responded to anti-Semitic attributions – for example, during the time of the Weimar Republic.
