Digital German-Jewish Futures: Experiential Learning, Activism, and Entertainment. Abstract The future of the German-Jewish past is, in a word, digital, and not only in the sense of digital humanities or digital history. Future generations of scholars, students, and the general public will engage with the past online in the same ways—and for many of the same reasons—that they engage with everything else. There needs to be something redeeming, enjoyable, or at least memorable about studying history for people to feel that it is worthwhile. For many, the act of learning about the past serves as a kind of virtual travel, even an escape, to another time and place. Learning about German-Jewish history becomes possible on a regular basis when it is easily accessible through the newest media on computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices.

T O F A C E The 2016 launch of the FACE TO FACE WITH GERMAN FILMS campaign presented six actresses as these ‘faces’, at the London Film Festival and W I T H through the year, across a series of press events, a photographic advertising campaign and through the international launches of their diverse film and television projects. The actresses were PAULA BEER, LIV G E R M A N LISA FRIES, SANDRA HÜLLER, JULIA JENTSCH, SASKIA ROSENDAHL and LILITH STANGENBERG. F I L M S At the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival, the FACE TO FACE WITH GERMAN FILMS initiative entered the second phase of the campaign with the support of some of Germany’s most eclectic actors: VOLKER BRUCH, ALEXANDER FEHLING, LOUIS HOFMANN, JANNIS NIEWÖHNER, TOM SCHILLING and RONALD ZEHRFELD. 2018 saw the continuation of the FACE TO FACE WITH GERMAN FILMS campaign, this time celebrating the visionaries behind the camera, by showcasing prominent directors in the German film industry, who have already garnered a great deal of international recognition for their varied works: EMILY ATEF, VALESKA GRISEBACH, LARS KRAUME, ANCA MIRUNA LAZARESCU, BURHAN QURBANI and DAVID WNENDT.

It marks a turning point in German television.” “the most important TV movie of the year” ‘’rarely has such a programme triggered as much debate and interest” “gripping drama with the confidence to confront the past” “truthful, gripping, compassionate – a great television event” “An epoch-making three-parter… the last chance to relate the history of the war across the generations” “sensitively done and brilliantly acted” “Germany wades in up to its own neck with a viscerally unsparing drama.” “Generation War holds the line admirably in showing how totalitarianism corrupts almost everything in its path, individual responsibility included, and creates an appalling space where sadists and conformists alike can flourish and break every rule of war at will.” “Generation War marks a new departure in portraying the war in Germany. controversial, high-quality, gripping mini-series” “It was in 1993 when Stephen Spielberg’s war flick ‘Schindler's List’ came up with the barbaric side of the German soldiers during World War-II. In 2013, it is Beta Films that creates a stir in the German media with its latest miniseries drama ‘Generation War’.” “sparking off hot debatable matter for discussion.” “a big-screen anti-war epic.” “first-class ride into an ugly period of history.” ‘‘epochal“ “uncompromising, wonderfully acted, an absolute must-see!” “A Film, Eight Years in the Making, That Has Sparked A Passionate Discussion.” “insightfully reveals a country still grappling with how previous generations could have let themselves become so tragically misdirected.” “Generation War sweeps away a half century of World War II clichés that most Americans usually see in the movies.” “…richly provocative and equally unsettling.” “…this three-part epic turns on a meditation about guilt and innocence.” “The story of the totally normal, youthful representative of our past touches a truth in our souls.
