22.1.2015 TheJC Print Article Bubis grave defaced in Israel 20 August 1999 By Regine Wosnitza THE HEAD of Germany’s Jewish community, who died suddenly last Friday, was showered with praise worldwide — but an Israeli artist shocked relatives and dignitaries at his Tel Aviv funeral by defacing the grave. Meir Mendelson said that he had poured paint on the grave because Ignatz Bubis was a “bad person” — a characterisation in stark contrast to the tributes paid to the longtime president of the Central Council of German Jews. Mr Bubis’s body was flown to Israel for burial on Sunday — ironically, because of the German leader’s fear that his grave might be desecrated by neoNazis in Germany, as happened to his predecessor in the council post, Heinz Galinski. The decision of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder not to interrupt his holiday in Italy to travel to the funeral, which was attended by German President Johannes Rau and Interior Minister Otto Schily, drew criticism in the German media. “This lack of instinct is more than just a faux pas,” the daily Die Welt said. Mr Bubis’s death, from cancer, at the age of 72 in Frankfurt triggered a wave of mourning in Germany. The daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung said: “It is not Bubis the Central Council head who has died, but a great German.” Hundreds of Germans converged to sign books of condolence at Jewish community centres. The city of Frankfurt has announced the establishment of a “Bubis Prize for Tolerance and Understanding.” Mayor Petra Roth said that the prize would be awarded to individuals who distinguished themselves in the “liberal and unprejudiced” spirit in which Mr Bubis had lived his life. American President Bill Clinton joined the tributes, calling Mr Bubis one of Germany’s foremost champions of tolerance. Andreas Nachama, 48, and Michel Friedman, 43, are among communal figures being discussed as possible successors to Mr Bubis. Others believed to be in the running are Charlotte Knoblauch, 66, president of the Munich community; Paul Spiegel, 61, head of the Dusseldorf community; and Salomon Korn, 55, a Frankfurt architect. http://website.thejc.com/printartform.aspx?Aid=22423 1/1.

Cosmopolitan Normalisation? the Culture of Remembrance of World War II and the Holocaust in Unified Germany
臺大歷史學報第 53 期 BIBLID1012-8514(2014)53p.181-227 2014 年 6 月，頁 181-227 2014.1.13 收稿，2014.5.23 通過刊登 DOI: 10.6253/ntuhistory.2014.53.04 Cosmopolitan Normalisation? The Culture of Remembrance of World War II and the Holocaust in Unified Germany Christoph Thonfeld* Abstract Since the 1990s, Germany has dealt with the difficult integration of collective and individual memories from East and West Germany. Alongside the publicly more prominent remembrances of perpetration has occurred an upsurge in the memories of German suffering. At the same time, Europe has increasingly become a point of reference for national cultures of remembrance. These developments have been influenced by post-national factors such as Europeanisation and transnationalisation along with the emergence of a more multicultural society. However, there have also been strong trends toward renationalisation and normalisation. The last twenty years have witnessed a type of interaction with the ‘other’ as constructively recognised; while at the same time it is also excluded by renationalising trends. Researchers have described the combination of the latter two trends as the cosmopolitanisation of memory. This article adopts the diachronic perspective to assess the preliminary results since 1990 of the actual working of this cosmopolitanisation process within the culture of remembrance of World War II and its aftermath in Germany. Keywords: culture of remembrance, World War II, cosmopolitanisation, Europeanization, renationalization. * Assistant Professor at National ChengChi University, Dept. of European Languages and Cultures.

Speech by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the Ceremony Marking the 40Th Anniversary of the Hochschule Für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg, 17 June 2019
The speech online: www.bundespraesident.de page 1 of 4 Speech by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg, 17 June 2019 It is now 40 years since the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien (HfJS) opened its doors here in Heidelberg and I congratulate you all most warmly on this milestone which is certainly not something to be taken for granted! I am both delighted and honoured to be here today. Thank you very much for inviting me. All of you here in this room and many others besides have worked to ensure that it is impossible to imagine public and academic life in Germany without the HfJS. And that is why I am particularly grateful to you, the members of the Hochschule and Heidelberg University, to the Central Council of Jews in Germany, to Land Baden Württemberg and to all who support and promote the HfJS. Jewish Studies, the study of Judaism, have been a part of Germany for 200 years. We are also celebrating this today. And it is safe to say that it was a long journey from a meeting of young Jewish intellectuals in Berlin in 1819 of all years - the year of the Carlsbad Decrees, the year of the climax of the Restauration, the year of the strictest censorship of the press and monitoring of universities, but also the year of the violent Hep-Hep riots against Jews and against Jewish emancipation in many cities in Germany. It was a long journey through war, torture, persecution and the murder of milions in the 20th century to the creation of a Hochschule für Jüdische Studien.

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.
