Still Lives: Jewish Photography in Nazi Germany (U Pennsylvania Press, 2025) is a systematic study of the ways Jews used photographs to document their experiences in the face of National Socialism. In a time of intensifying anti-Jewish rhetoric and policies, German Jews documented their lives and their environment in tens of thousands of photographs. German Jews of considerably diverse backgrounds took and preserved these photographs: professional and amateurs, of different ages, gender, and classes. The book argues that their previously overlooked photographs convey otherwise unuttered views, emotions, and self-perceptions. Based on a database of more than fifteen thousand relevant images, it analyzes photographs within the historical contexts of their production, preservation, and intended viewing, and explores a plethora of Jews' reactions to the changing landscapes of post-1933 Germany. Ofer Ashkenazi is a Professor of History and the director of the Richard Koebner-Minerva Center for German History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. While on sabbatical, in 2025-2026 he is the Mosse Visiting Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the co-author of the recently published monograph Still Lives: Jewish Photography in Nazi Germany (2025) , as well as Anti-Heimat Cinema (2020); Weimar Film and Jewish Identity (2012); and Reason and Subjectivity in Weimar Cinema (2010). He edited volumes and published articles on various topics in German and German-Jewish history including Jewish youth movements in Germany; the German interwar anti-war movement; Cold War memory culture; Jewish migration from and to Germany; and German-Jewish visual culture. Rebekka Grossmann is Assistant Professor of Migration History at Leiden University. In her research, she explores the connections of visual culture, migration and politics with a special focus on Jewish history. Her dissertation, which will be published in 2026, investigates the role of the camera as agent, chronicler and critic of Jewish nation-building. In her new project, she looks at the entangled stories of the legacies of Jewish forced migration, post-war memory culture and peace activism through the lens of different artistic projects. Shira Miron is a PhD candidate at the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Yale University. Her research explores aesthetics as a mode of investigation for human experience and social formation and studies the particularities of different artforms alongside their conceptual and practical cross-pollination. She pursues theoretical questions as they relate to history and culture and vice versa. Her dissertation project, Composition and Community: The Extra-Musical Imagination of Polyphony 1800/1900/1950, explores the advent of western polyphony as a modern aesthetic, communicative, and ethical phenomenon that extends beyond the field of music. Shira published on the relationship between music and literature, German-Jewish literature and culture, visual studies, theories of dialogue and communication, and on a wide range of authors including Novalis, Adorno, Kleist, and Gertrud Kolmar. Shira holds B.Mus. and M.Mus. degrees in piano performance from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance and studied German literature at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at the Freie Universität Berlin. Currently, she is a DAAD research fellow at the Leibniz Center for Literary and Cultural Research (ZfL) in Berlin. Sarah Wobick-Segev is a research associate at the Institute for Jewish Studies at the University of Hamburg. Her research explores the multiple intersections of European-Jewish cultural and intellectual history with gender studies, everyday life history, and visual and religious studies. Her current project analyzes the religious writings of Jewish women in German-speaking Central Europe from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century. Learn more about your ad choices.

Met twee vrouwelijke leidinggevenden: Rina Molenaar, directeur van hulporganisatie Woord en Daad en Jolineke van Dooren, directeur van de Johannes Calvijnschool in Sliedrecht. Vrouwen die leiding geven – daar zijn we in Nederland wel zo'n beetje aan gewend. Maar waar dat nog steeds lastig kan liggen, is in de reformatorische wereld. Want hoort dat wel: een hoge maatschappelijke positie innemen als vrouw, en zeker als getrouwde vrouw? Past dat wel bij je roeping, en het plan dat God met je heeft?Dominee Maarten Klaassen bracht het thema opnieuw onder de aandacht: mannen zijn geroepen om leiding te geven. De ware roeping van vrouwen ligt in het gezin en in het dienen van hun man. Voor Rina en Jolineke is het geen vraag: vrouwen kunnen in het maatschappelijk leven gewoon leiding geven. Jolineke heeft de boeken van Maarten Klaassen gelezen. ‘Ik heb mij nooit afgevraagd of ik dit werk als vrouw kon doen. Wel of het te combineren is met mijn gezin, maar die vraag stelt mijn man zich ook.' Voor Rina is het een discussie die ver van haar afstaat. ‘Typisch Nederlands.'Beide vrouwen gaan niet de barricade op voor gelijke behandeling van mannen en vrouwen. ‘Misschien komt dat ook doordat wij er in de praktijk weinig last van hebben.' Wel willen ze een voorbeeld zijn voor jonge refovrouwen. Zowel Rina als Jolineke voert wel gesprekken met jongeren over schoolkeuze en ambitie.Eerdere podcasts over dit thema:

Anna Arendt is a photographer and visual artist living and working in Berlin whose images explore memory, silence, loss, and the invisible links between personal history and larger events. Her work often moves between personal, historical, and symbolic worlds, shot in black-and-white to capture places where the past and present meet.Anna was born in the German Democratic Republic and was 24 when The Wall fell, at which time her daughter was two. Her parents were born 1940 in Germany, children of war. Both of her grandfathers had been soldiers, who had been in Poland between 1940 and 1942. One came back 2 years after the war was over, the other one never returned.As a child Anna found a secret shelf that contained photo albums of her family. "It is where I discovered the power of a picture. A picture taken in summer 1940. A young family, my grandmother, her baby and my grandfather in a German uniform. A picture full of contradictions, carrying ambivalent feelings even today."Anna graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and Set Design and then received a one-year grant from the DAAD to study photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York. For 15 years, she worked as a set and costume designer for opera, drama, and puppet theater, collaborating with directors at theaters across Germany and Switzerland.Anna recently published her first book, Vanishing, with Charcoal Press. Photographed mostly between Germany and Poland over 15 years, the work slides back and forth through time like a blood memory. Walking naked through the dark forest, wolves circling, howling. A daughter becoming a mother becoming a grandmother becoming a child. Haunted villages, and souls in jeopardy. The harsh reality of the past merges seamlessly with moments of rapture that feel plucked from a Grimm fairy tale.Photography has now become the center of Anna's creative life. She continues to develop long-term projects that reflect her search for meaning in places marked by beauty, pain, and the mysteries of time. Alongside her artistic work, she also works with disabled people in an art workshop, sharing the joy of creative expression.In episode 260, Anna discusses, among other things:The origins of her photographyGrowing up in East GermanyBeginning to understand her family historyThe fall of the Berlin wall in 1989Being ‘connected to pictures'The importance of visiting Poland and its significance for her familyThe cast of characters in the book, including wolves…….And her friend, who sadly diedAllowing the photograph to tell her what it wants to be (and where)How Charcoal Press came to publish the bookHer collaboration with publisher Jesse LenzHaving a day job and a change of identityWhat she's currently up to in the darkroom EPISODE SPONSORS:CHARCOAL WORKSHOPS. THE ‘SUMMER SERIES' TAKING PLACE IN PORTLAND, MAINE, SEPTEMBER 15-19, 2025. FEATURING: ANTOINE D'AGATA, TODD HIDO AND CHRISTIAN PATERSON.

In this episode, I spoke with Diplomat Oliver Schramm, Consulate General of Germany San Francisco, from 2021 - 2025. Have a listen!

Bij de opening van Fenix heeft architect Ma Yansong van MAD staan kijken hoe er op de ontworpen ruimtes gereageerd werd. Dat observeren doet hij graag. Hij zag mensen in tranen en mensen elkaar kussen. Iedereen ervaart het museum en de spiralende dubbele trap die eruit omhoog rijst op zijn eigen manier, constateert hij.Het verhaal gaat dat Ma Yansong bij het eerste bezoek aan de Fenix loods met Wim Pijbes van Stichting Droom en Daad zo stil was dat Wim zich afvroeg of hij er wel iets mee kon. Maar aan het eind van het bezoek constateerde Ma dat het allemaal om beweging ging en maakte daarna een schets van een spiralende route die uit de loods omhoog zou komen.Die schets vatte zijn emotie bij die plek en het toekomstige museum samen. Hij vond het vervolgens heel belangrijk om die schets zo nauwgezet mogelijk te vertalen in een gebouwde realiteit. In de podcast benoemt hij dat als hij die schets op een ander moment had gemaakt, die er waarschijnlijk anders uit had gezien. Maar het gaat in zijn optiek niet om het bereiken van perfectie, maar om de menselijkheid die uit de schets naar voren komt. Dat de route geen geoptimaliseerde spiraal is, maar juist een onregelmatige vorm heeft. Dat hij niet op kolommen rust, maar voor je gevoel zweeft. Dat hij door het dak heenbreekt en daar richting de kade uitkraagt. Bij de gerealiseerde spiralende trap hoopt hij dat mensen ervaren wat hij er destijds ook bij gevoeld heeft.Met gekromde lijnen en een wat abstractere materialisering hoopt Ma in zijn werk emotie op te roepen bij mensen die er een bezoek aan brengen of het gebruiken. Bouwkundige details en installaties wil hij zoveel mogelijk onzichtbaar maken, zodat de aandacht uitgaat naar de ruimtes, en hoe het licht daar op of in valt. Voor mensen om het op hun eigen manier te kunnen ervaren, moet de ruimte enerzijds abstract genoeg zijn en anderzijds ook specifiek genoeg zijn – daarin zoekt hij steeds een balans.In de podcast geeft hij aan dat hij in zijn werk ervoor waakt gebouwen te perfect of te mooi te maken. Dat kan gebouwen namelijk ook afstandelijk maken. Juist in de imperfectie zit het menselijke, vindt hij. Daaraan gekoppeld zit de wens om gebouwen te maken die echt voor iedereen zijn, voor alle lagen van de bevolking, dus niet alleen voor een elite. Daarom is hij ook zo enthousiast over Fenix en het naastgelegen Danshuis, waar hij momenteel nog aan werkt; beide instellingen richten zich op iedereen in de stad.Het gesprek komt via het werk van Antoni Gaudi en de hutongs waarin hij opgroeide uit bij de woningbouwopgave in China. Het gaat er in een samenleving om dat we omgaan met mensen die anders tegen dingen aankijken, vindt hij. Waar die onderlinge dialoog in de hutongs sterk aanwezig was, is het wonen in een woontoren erg individueel. Daarbij worden woongebieden in China vaak ook nog omheind, zodat je alleen nog gelijkgestemden tegenkomt. In de tentoonstelling in het Nieuwe Instituut wordt een groot sociale woningbouwproject getoond dat MAD in Beijing heeft ontworpen. Bovenop een laag met voorzieningen, die zich openen naar de straat, is een gemeenschappelijke, verhoogde daktuin gerealiseerd voor de bewoners, maar waar anderen ook kunnen komen. Andere woongebieden zouden zich op een vergelijkbare manier kunnen openen, stelt hij voor.De bij de podcast gebruikte foto's van Fenix zijn gemaakt door architectuurfotograaf Iwan Baan.Deze podcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door AGC. Halverwege de podcast vertelt Anton Peters van AGC over hun low-carbon glas dat maar liefst 45% minder CO2-uitstoot heeft dan traditioneel glas.

Dit is deel 2 van onze podcast over de Dag des Oordeels. In deel 1 bespraken we onder andere het blazen op de bazuin en het uitdelen van de boeken. Vandaag gaan we verder: wat gebeurt er daarna? Wat zou onze eindbestemming kunnen zijn?Support the show

Die US-Regierung stoppt Visa für Studierende, Austauschschüler, Au-Pairs und Gastprofessoren. Was bedeutet das jetzt für Betroffene? Und kurz- und langfristig für den Wissenschaftsstandort USA? Wir sprechen mit einer Studentin und dem Generalsekretär des DAAD.

"Een goede daad gaat nooit verloren, maar houdt stand tot in de eeuwigheid." - Stine vraagt schrijver Vamba Sherif om zijn levenswijsheid.

Die US-Regierung hat angeordnet, dass sich keine ausländischen Studierenden an der Harvard-Universität einschreiben dürfen. Für den Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst verletzt das die Wissenschaftsfreiheit.

Die amerikanische Schriftstellerin Claudia Rankine wird Anfang Juni die zehnte Berliner Rede zur Poesie halten. Derzeit wohnt sie für ein Jahr lang als Stipendiatin des Berliner Künstlerprogramms des DAAD in Berlin. Bekannt ist Rankine vor allem für ihre ganz eigene Form poetisch verdichteter Essayistik, die sie mit Fotografie und Memoire verbindet. Sie gehört aktuell zu einer der wichtigsten Denkerinnen, wenn es um Rasse, Differenz, Politik und die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika geht. Für die daadgalerie hat sie eine eigene Ausstellung kuratiert, die heute Abend eröffnet wird. Tomas Fitzel hat Claudia Rankine getroffen.

Today's Coffee Connection is another musical episode. I chatted with Ngoc Vu, DAAD Music Scholarship Alumnus. He has won several national and international piano competitions over the years. Ngoc debuted in Semperoper Hall in Dresden when he turned 15, and he played at Carnegie Hall during the annual DAAD Sound Understanding Concert. Ngoc is originally from Dresden, Germany. What started as a mere coincidence turned into a successful career as a pianist. After graduating with an artist diploma from the University of Southern California 2018, he moved to Miami, FL. Recently, he finished his Artist Diploma in Piano Performance at the University of Miami Frost School of Music. Throughout the episode, you'll hear several pieces he enjoys playing.

Vor 100 Jahren wurde der Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst DAAD in Heidelberg gegründet. Er ist mittlerweile die weltweit größte Organisation zur Förderung des akademischen Austauschs. Aktuell sei jedoch der wissenschaftliche Austausch vor allem mit den USA durch die Politik der Trump-Regierung bedroht, sagt Joybrato Mukherjee, Präsident des DAAD und Rektor der Uni Köln. „Wir haben langlebige Verbindungen in die USA. Die Wissenschaftler dort stehen momentan unter massivem Druck.“

Der Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst (DAAD) feiert dieses Jahr sein 100. Jubiläum. Wie profitieren Geförderte von dem Austausch und vor welchen Herausforderungen steht der DAAD aktuell? Von Britta Mersch

Mukherjee, Joybrato www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

'Verzet begint niet met grote woorden maar met kleine daden' Dit zijn de eerste twee regels van een gedicht van Remco Campert. Actueel, omdat het nodig is om je bewust te zijn van waar je voor staat en hoe je bijdraagt aan de wereld. Op deze bevrijdingsdag is er op andere plekken in de wereld oorlog. Er zijn mensen in Nederland die zich hier niet welkom voelen. Er zijn groepen in de samenleving die elkaar niet kennen, maar wel een negatief beeld van elkaar hebben. Er zijn mensen die zich afvragen of het nog veilig is om te zijn wie ze willen zijn, of dat ze zich beter weer in de kast kunnen verstoppen. Ik wil dit niet accepteren. Ik geloof in een liefdevolle en gelijkwaardige samenleving. En ik weet dat er heel veel mensen zijn zoals ik. Laten we ons blijven inzetten, laten we elkaar opzoeken, laten we hoop geven door te laten zien wat mogelijk is. Niet alleen in woorden, maar ook in daden. Voor ieder van ons is volgens mij de vraag: wat is jouw kleine daad van verzet? Geinspireerd door het gedicht van Remco Campert heb ik deze podcastaflevering opgenomen (afl 282 van de Professional vanuit je hart Podcast).

About the Lecture: In this presentation, Karnes will talk about Maija Tabaka, who was the first Soviet citizen to be awarded the DAAD fellowship. Tabaka unwittingly opened doors to over a decade of artistic exchanges between Riga and West Berlin. She also provided an enduring model for arranging such collaborations, with offices of the Latvian KGB partnering with Latvian emigres to broker relationships, awards, and creative possibilities. Mining archives in Berlin and Riga, this talk traces the origins of such exchanges in the 1970s, their evolution in the time of perestroika, and their end in an ill-fated endeavor to support the dream of the Latvian musician Hardijs Lediņš to record with Laurie Anderson in a newly reunited Berlin. About the Speaker: Kevin C. Karnes is Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Music and Divisional Dean of Arts at Emory University and Visiting Professor of Musicology at the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music. His most recent book is Sounds Beyond: Arvo Pärt and the 1970s Soviet Underground (2021). His latest research considers techno music and club culture as both product and reflection of transnational exchange across reimagined European borders at the turn of the 1990s.

In this episode, I feature Henry Thompson, an associate professor of Political Science at Arizona State University who received DAAD not once, but four times. Henry received a Semester Scholarship, followed by 2 Graduate Scholarships and a Summer Fellowship. For more, have a listen!

--- Transcript at www.daad.org/en/about-us/who-we-are/podcast/ --- This episode features Russell Berman, a DAAD alumnus, shared his experiences of receiving DAAD funding twice: a post-BA year in Munich in 1972 and a dissertation fellowship from 1977 to 1979. These scholarships significantly influenced his career, steering him towards German Studies. His dissertation focused on literary criticism in the mass press from the late 19th to early 20th century. Berman emphasized the transformative impact of studying abroad, advising young scholars to consider turning their post-BA year into an MA for career advancement. He highlighted the importance of international exchange for gaining diverse perspectives and building networks.

In dieser Folge geht es um die Schrecken der deutschen Sprache, die sich erst so richtig offenbaren, wenn man sich in die Perspektive des Fremdsprachenlernens begibt. Deutsch als Erst- oder Zweitsprache von Kindesbeinen an sprechen - schön und gut. Aber habt ihr mal drüber nachgedacht, wie es ist, Deutsch als Fremdsprache zu lernen? Mark Twain hat es versucht und ist dabei (im Großen und Ganzen) gescheitert. All sein Frust über seine zum Scheitern veruteilten Versuche, Deutsch zu lernen, bricht sich Bahn in seinem Essay "The Awful German Language" (Die schreckliche deutsche Sprache). Mit scharfem Witz und beißendem Humor führt er durch das Schreckenskabinett, dass das Deutsche für die gewillten Lerner*innen bereit hält. Auch nach über 140 Jahren kann man sich bei manchen Passagen das Lachen einfach nicht verkneifen.Wir besprechen Twains Essay und ordnen es linguistisch ein. Wir finden heraus, dass das Deutsche eigentlich gar nicht so schrecklich ist und dass Mark Twain tatsächlich "der treueste Freund der deutschen Sprache" war.Ein Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

Learning a new language is always a challenge. What helps is so-called cultural immersion, i.e. complete immersion in the culture of the language. DAAD lecturer at Melbourne University Andreas Wiebel did this with 17 of his students. They spent three weeks in Tübingen, Berlin and Buckow - and they worked through a full program. - Eine neue Sprache lernen ist immer eine Herausforderung. Was dabei hilft, ist die so genannte kulturelle Immersion, also das vollständige Eintauchen in die Kultur der Sprache.

Today's Coffee Connection is another musical episode. I chatted with composer Philipp Kaspar, a DAAD alumnus and recent NYU graduate. Philipp is originally from Germany and now works in the music industry in New York. We chatted about his musical path and how New York played a big role in what he does today. My highlights of our conversation were hearing about the reading parties he plays at and learning about contemporary German music. If you are in New York, keep an eye out for Philipp's performances.

A raw and honest conversation about Palestine, Germany and Palestinians in Germany. Sarah El Bulbeisi discusses the history of the Palestinian diasporic experience in Germany, the erasure, tabooization and criminalization of this very experience and the structural hostility, racism and trivialization faced by the Palestinian community and anyone in support of it there. Finally, she grapples with the notion of post-War guilt and its impact (or lack thereof) on the German perception and treatment of Palestinians.This episode was recorded on Friday Oct 27 at 16:41 Palestine time.Please note, we're recording special podcast episodes relevant to understanding historical context to what is happening in Palestine. Make sure to check out the other highly informative conversations with guests from completely different disciplines who are generously sharing their time and insight in these dark times.Sarah El Bulbeisi completed her PhD at the Institute for Near and Middle East Studies at the LMU Munich, Germany and currently works as a post-doctoral research assistant at the Oriental Institute Beirut. Before joining the OIB she coordinated the DAAD project “Violence, Forced Migration and Exile: Trauma in the Arab World and in Germany”, a Higher Education Dialogue between Palestinian and Lebanese universities as well as with the LMU Munich. Prior to that, she worked as a lecturer and research associate at the Institute for Near and Middle East Studies at the LMU Munich. Her PhD thesis “Taboo, Trauma and Identity: Subject Constructions of Palestinians in Germany and Switzerland, 1960 to 2015” draws on conversations, life stories and participant observation and explores the tension between the (family) histories of first and second generation Palestinians, which are characterized by the experience of expulsion and dispossession, and the reshaping of this experience in the Western European representation of the so called Middle East conflict.***** ABOUT THIS SERIES ***** The afikra Podcast is our flagship program featuring experts from academia, art, media and beyond who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work. Our hope is that by having the guest share their expertise and story, the community walks away with a new ‎found curiosity - and maybe some good recommendations about new nerdy rabbit holes to dive into head first. ‎ Explore all afikra Podcast episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=-0voh_EioBM&list=PLfYG40bwRKl5xaTkBDrUKLCulvoCE8ubX ****** ABOUT AFIKRA ******‎ afikra | عفكرة is a movement to convert passive interest in the Arab world to active intellectual curiosity.
