Abstract Daniel Wildmann looks at modern German Jewish history in a new light. He shows alter- native ways of Jewish self-assurance at the turn of the century – alternatives to the assimi- latory and Zionist ways of life – while demonstrating how these alternative ways of life interfered with Jewish integration in Germany. A precise analysis of the history and the agendas of Jewish gymnastic associations shows the tensions surrounding Jewish iden- tity in Imperial Germany which arose whenever there was a deviation from the beaten path. This study is innovative in the sense that it aims to integrate new approaches in history, such as the history of the body, masculinity, and visual history, into the field of German Jewish history. 24 Research Project Research Project 25

Accepting the « other » in the Dutch Republic Toleration, liberty of conscience and freedom of religion belonged to the key and most con- troversial values of the Dutch Golden Age. Dutch debates on these values go back to the Dutch Revolt, the fight for independence against Philip ii and his government of Philip in the second. Initially the focus was solely on how different Christian groups and communities, includ- ing most notably Calvinists, Catholics and Mennonites should live and tolerate each other. The settlement of Jewish refugees in the beginning of the seventeenth century added a new dimension. The central aim of the lecture was to explore how a number of central figures of the Golden Age discussed and analysed the position of Jewish communities and of Judaism in the Dutch Republic. The focus was on Rembrandt, so often celebrated as the painter of Jewish life, on Hugo Grotius, one of the key intellectuals of the Golden Age and a founding father of theories of international law and natural rights, and on Menasseh Ben Israel, one of the rabbis of the Amsterdam Jewish community, and a key figure in the intellectual life of Europe’s seventeenth century. The three of them cooperated with each other in different ways; each of them, in his own way, contributed significantly to the dialogue between Judaism and Christianity in early modern Europe. 32 Lecture Series Lecture Series 33

Dietrich became the target of Nazi ire when she took us citizenship, and later supported the Allied war effort by entertaining troops on European front lines. Though she never returned to work in German cinema, Dietrich did stage a fictive return on screen in her role as Erika von Schluetow, the politically compromised femme fatale of Billy Wilder’s 1948 A Foreign Affair.

Evening Session: A German-Jewish Critique? German-Jewish scholars of the twentieth century often employed a refined system of critique to probe key ethical issues. Is it possible to define such critical attempts as a specifically Ger- man-Jewish ethics or culture? Was there a specifically German-Jewish perspective of critical thinking?
