Empress Elisabeth Museum Community of Pöcking Empress Elisabeth Elisabethweg Museum She ranked among the most beautiful women of her times, glorifi ed as “Sissi” and “Sisi” through fi lms and books even beyond her death. Elizabeth, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary was a liberal aesthete and an emancipated rebel of her era, artistic, political and athletic at the same time. Born on 24.12.1837 in Munich as the fourth child of Princess Ludovika of Bavaria, Duchess in Bavaria, and Duke Maximilian in Bavaria, she spent her happy childhood at the Munich Town Palace and the Castle of Possenhofen at Lake Starnberg. Possenhofen and the lake always remained a beloved place of refuge and relaxation even after her marriage with Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1854. Far away from the court ceremonial in Vienna, this is where she was able to take care of her body and mind.

  • The Example of Clarissa and Leopold Von Ranke
    Longing and belonging within an academic family of the 19th century: the example of Clarissa and Leopold von Ranke Andreas D. Boldt Discussions about longing and belonging usually refer to the status of national, regional, ethnic, religious, social, political, groups and individuals, whether rooted or displaced. This essay proposes to adopt a different perspective and to examine the sense of longing and belonging at the level of a family unit, here a 19th-century couple, the world-renowned historian Leopold von Ranke and his wife Clarissa. How did their sense of longing and belonging differ? What was their perception of each other’s national group? How did they establish their common belonging to a state in Central Europe? Related questions, such as how to overcome classes and national belonging, how to deal with longing or transfer of belonging, languages and perceptions, will also be examined. The Rankes’ experience offers a particularly apt study-case within the context of transnational European identity. Who were Clarissa and Leopold von Ranke? Before I discuss their relations to be/longing, I wish to situate the Rankes in relation to their respective cultural backgrounds. The German historian Leopold von Ranke was born in Germany in 1795. His first Between, vol. VII, n. 13 (Maggio/ May 2017) Andreas D. Boldt, Longing and belonging within an academic family of the 19th century major work, Geschichte der romanischen und germanischen Völker von 1494 bis 1514 (History of the Latin and Teutonic Nations, 1494-1514), was published late in 1824. It was based on archival research, viewed by Ranke as the foundation of all historical work, and it established his professional reputation.

    In the Shadow of the holocauSt the changing Image of German Jewry after 1945 Michael Brenner In the Shadow of the Holocaust The Changing Image of German Jewry after 1945 Michael Brenner INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE 31 JANUARY 2008 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First Printing, August 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Michael Brenner THE INA LEVINE INVITATIONAL SCHOLAR AWARD, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. The Ina Levine Invitational Scholar also leads seminars, lectures at universities in the United States, and serves as a resource for the Museum, educators, students, and the general public. At its first postwar congress, in Montreux, Switzerland, in July 1948, the political commission of the World Jewish Congress passed a resolution stressing ―the determination of the Jewish people never again to settle on the bloodstained soil of Germany.‖1 These words expressed world Jewry‘s widespread, almost unanimous feeling about the prospect of postwar Jewish life in Germany. And yet, sixty years later, Germany is the only country outside Israel with a rapidly growing Jewish community. Within the last fifteen years its Jewish community has quadrupled from 30,000 affiliated Jews to approximately 120,000, with at least another 50,000 unaffiliated Jews. How did this change come about? 2 • Michael Brenner It belongs to one of the ironies of history that Germany, whose death machine some Jews had just escaped, became a center for Jewish life in post-war Europe.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Jewish “Shtetls” in Postwar Germany: An Analysis of Interactions Among Jewish Displaced Persons, Germans, and Americans Between 1945 and 1957 in Bavaria A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Kierra Mikaila Crago-Schneider 2013 © Copyright by Kierra Mikaila Crago-Schneider 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Jewish “Shtetls” in Postwar Germany: An Analysis of Interactions Among Jewish Displaced Persons, Germans, and Americans Between 1945 and 1957 in Bavaria by Kierra Mikaila Crago-Schneider Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Saul P. Friedlander, Chair After the Holocaust, 250,000 Jewish survivors settled into Displaced Persons (DPs) centers throughout occupied Germany. The housing in Jewish only DP camps in the American occupation zone provided a perceived safe and protected space, attracting the majority of the Jewish Displaced Persons. In these centers survivors rebuilt their lives that were destroyed during the Shoah. DPs also developed a sense of power and entitlement that they invoked in negotiations with international aid organizations, the Office of the Military Government, United States, and later, the West German Federal Republic. Jewish DPs made their first contacts with their American overseers as well as German neighbors in the centers, usually through trade and barter. Some of these interactions grew into lasting personal, criminal, and business relationships while others led to increased anti-Semitism. The Jewish DP centers were beneficial to their ii residents. However, their extraterritorial nature, the increased and better rations received by Jewish DPs, and their exclusion from the German judicial system before 1951 acted to segregate the inhabitants from the German population.
