  • Jewish Survivors and Descendants of Survivors of Nazi Genocide Unequivocally Condemn the Massacre of Palestinians in Gaza
    Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors of Nazi genocide unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza As Jewish survivors and descendents of survivors of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world. We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia. Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in other media to promote blatant falsehoods used to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of nearly 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water. We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!

Diese Vorstellung, dass das weg ist, ist ein furchtbarer Verlust für mich. Wenn es um meine Familiengeschichte geht, dann geht es um eine jüdische Familie, man hat versucht, sie zu vernichten und war jetzt nicht vorsichtig genug, und eine andere Art Vernichtung ist wieder geschehen. Sprecherin (1): Am 03. März 2009 stürzt das Historische Archiv der Stadt Köln in sich zusammen. Fast der gesamte Bestand aus über 1200 Jahren Stadt-, Regional- und Kirchengeschichte rutscht in den riesigen Krater, der durch Bauarbeiten für die neue U-Bahn unmittelbar neben dem Archivgebäude entstanden war. 02 O-Ton (2) (Tanya Ury): Das Stichwort 'Archiv' und 'Archivieren' wurde mir erst absolut klar bewusst, als ich und meine Familie die Familienpapiere und andere persönliche Sachen der Stadt Köln geliehen habe, also, Historisches Archiv der Stadt Köln, und als das eingestürzt ist.

  • Call for Proposals for the Hans and Lea Grundig Prize 2017
    Call for Proposals for the Hans and Lea Grundig Prize 2017 A diasporist lives and paints in two or more societies at once. Diasporic art is contradictory at its heart, being both internationalist and particularist. It can be inconsistent, which is a major blasphemy against the logic of much art education, because life in Diaspora is often inconsistent and tense; schismatic cont- radiction animates each day. (R.B. Kitaj’s “Diasporist Manifesto”, 1988) A prize named in commemoration of the artists Hans Grundig (1901–1958) and Lea Grundig (1906–1977), under the patronage of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation will be awarded for artistic and art historical achievement, as well as for achievement in the communication of art. The category Artistic Projects welcomes completed and already exhibited contemporary contributions that reflect on R.B. Kitaj’s diasporist philosophy: contradiction, resistance, migration, flight, and exile — ever more people live in different societies concurrently and venture art that in its radicalness is political. The category Art Historical Works welcomes research that focuses on the analysis and exploration of the diasporic in the work of artists who have personally experienced persecution and enforced exile. Especi- ally welcome are contributions on the themes “Proletarian Revolutionary Art”, “Verism in the 20th cen- tury”, “Exile Art in Palestine/Israel”, as well as “Jewish Artists in Divided Postwar Germany”. The category Communication of Art welcomes submissions addressing curatorial projects that have pro- moted, and continue to promote the communication of research and works concerned with socio-critical art practices of the 20th and 21st century. This prize has been granted biannually since 2015.

  • Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art an Introduction
    peter chametzky Turks, Jews, and Other Germans in Contemporary Art An Introduction The urge to migrate is no less “natural” than the urge to settle. Kwame Anthony Appiah One might argue, in fact, that it is simply irresponsible for European states to continue to allow significant segments of their populations to be driven by nostalgia for homogeneity. There is no longer room to pretend that European countries will return to some imagined, idealized state of ethnic and cultural sameness. Rita Chin ich werde deutsch ch werde deutsch (I become German) provides the provocative Ititle for a series begun in 2008 of large-scale, staged photographs by German photographer Maziar Moradi. Born in Tehran in 1975, Moradi’s series 1979 told the story of his own family’s experience in and emigra- tion from Islamic revolutionary Iran and won the German Photographic Society’s biennial Otto Steinert Prize in 2007. In Ich werde deutsch each image presents a transitional moment, now experienced in Germany, within extended geopolitical narratives of migration not limited to the artist’s family or to Iran. Moradi has described the series: I become German tells the stories of young migrants who have left their homelands and begun a new life in Germany, but through their families have grown up with a different cultural background. I’ve collected stories from these young people with a migration background (Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund) from childhood to adulthood . They relate problems . but also positive experiences and transformations . This project is a continuation of my work about my family, 1979 . but this time it’s about the next genera- tion, their children.1 655 THE MASSACHUSETTS REVIEW Peter Chametzky Many of the photographs in Ich werde deutsch depict single, contem- plative figu es in evocative settings.

  • The Winners of the 2015 Hans and Lea Grundig Prize
    The winners of the 2015 Hans and Lea Grundig Prize The Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung opened the 2015 Hans-and-Lea-Grundig-Prize for entries in autumn 2014. The jury has now awarded the prize to Olga Jitlina, an artist from St. Petersburg; Lith Bahlmann and Matthias Reichelt, a curator and journalist, both from Berlin; and to a project at Bauhaus University Weimar that was coordinated by Ines Weizman, an architectural theorist. The jury was co-chaired by Dr Eva Atlan, curator of the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt, and Dr Eckhart Gil- len, an art historian and curator from Berlin; it also consisted of Professor Irene Dölling, Henning Heine, Professor Ladislav Minarik, Dr Rosa von der Schulenburg, Oliver Sukrow, Dr Angelika Timm and Tanya Ury. The Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung awards the prize in memory of Hans and Lea Grundig for services to art, aesthetics and art mediation. Hans Grundig (1901–1958) was an anti-fascist artist from Dresden who was banned from working under the Nazis, arrested numerous times, and held between 1940 and 1944 in Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Lea Grundig (1906–1977) was repeatedly arrested by the Nazis be- fore leaving for exile to Palestine from 1939 until 1948. The prize was first awarded by Lea Grundig at the University of Greifswald in 1972, but the award only continued until 1996. In 2011, the Rosa-Luxemburg- Stiftung took over the competition from the University of Greifswald. In 2012, the prize was awarded to Oliver Sukrow, whose master’s thesis at the University of Greifswald focused on a historical-critical analysis of Lea Grundig’s controversial function as president of the East German Association of Visual Artists from 1964 to 1970.
