WE ARE So spoke Willy Brandt in his first declaration as German Chancellor on Oct. 28, 1969. And 46 years later – in October 2015 – we can establish that Germany has indeed become a nation of good neighbors. In recent weeks espe- cially, we have demonstrated this by welcoming so many people seeking GRATEFUL protection from violence and suffer- ing.

Baker M.A., Bowling Green State University, 2000 M.A., Karl Franzens University, Graz, Austria, 1998 Committee Chair: Katharina Gerstenberger ABSTRACT “The Return of the Child Exile: Re-enactment of Childhood Trauma in Jewish Life- Writing and Documentary Film” is a study of the literary responses of writers who were Jewish children in hiding and exile during World War II and of documentary films on the topic of refugee children and children in exile. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the relationships between trauma, memory, fantasy and narrative in a close reading/viewing of different forms of Jewish life-writing and documentary film by means of a scientifically informed approach to childhood trauma. Chapter 1 discusses the reception of Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Fragments (1994), which was hailed as a paradigmatic traumatic narrative written by a child survivor before it was discovered to be a fictional text based on the author’s invented Jewish life-story.

No longer a source of unreflective nostalgia for reactionaries, it is now being represented as a more nuanced entity that reflects the complexities of socialist society. The black and white narratives that shaped cultural memory of the GDR during the first fifteen years after the Wende have largely been replaced by more complicated tones of grey.

  • Cold War Nostalgia for Transnational Audiences
    Central European History 54 (2021), 352–360. © The Author(s), 2021. Published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of Central European History Society of the American Historical Association doi:10.1017/S0008938921000480 REVIEW ESSAY The Deutschland Series: Cold War Nostalgia for Transnational Audiences Heather Gumbert OW do you explain the Cold War to a generation who did not live through it? For Jörg and Anna Winger, co-creators and showrunners of the Deutschland series, you Hbring it to life on television. Part pop culture reference, part spy thriller, and part existential crisis, the Wingers’ Cold War is a fun, fast-paced story, “sunny and slick and full of twenty-something eye candy.”1 A coproduction of Germany’s UFA Fiction and Sundance TV in the United States, the show premiered at the 2015 Berlinale before appear- ing on American and German television screens later that year. Especially popular in the United Kingdom, it sold widely on the transnational market. It has been touted as a game-changer for the German television industry for breaking new ground for the German television industry abroad and expanding the possibilities of dramatic storytelling in Germany, and is credited with unleashing a new wave of German (historical) dramas including Babylon Berlin, Dark, and a new production of Das Boot.2 History buffs and—still—historians often seek historical truths in fictional narratives of the past. But historical film and television always tell us more about the moment in which they were created than the periods in which they are set. That is, because television narratives speak to other media narratives, similar to how historians speak to one another through his- toriography.

  • 1961 3 Politmagazine | 1 Nachrichten ● Die Rote Optik (1959) ● Der Schwarze Kanal ● Panorama ● SFB-Abendschau (Alle 13
    17 TV- und Filmbeiträge insgesamt. Phase I: 1956 – 1961 3 Politmagazine | 1 Nachrichten ● Die rote Optik (1959) ● Der schwarze Kanal ● Panorama ● SFB-Abendschau (alle 13. August 1961) Politische TV-Magazine stehen im Mittelpunkt dieser zeitlichen Anfangsphase beider deutscher Staaten. Am Beispiel von drei Politmagazinen und einer Nachrichtensendung betrachten wir die Berichterstattung von jenem Tag, der Berlin und Deutschland in zwei Teile trennte. Der 13. August 1961 aus Sicht von Ost und West – Ein Meilenstein der Geschichte. Phase II: 1962 – 1976 3 Filme | Fiktion ● Polizeiruf (1972) ● Blaulicht (1965) – Die fünfte Kolonne (1976) In den 70er Jahren setzte man verstärkt auf Unterhaltungssendungen, in Ost wie West. Eine besondere Rolle spielte dabei die Entwicklung des „Tatort“ (BRD) und des „Polizeiruf“ (DDR), den die DDR als Gegenstück zum westdeutschen Krimi-Format einsetzte. Besonders brisant: Im allerersten „Tatort – Taxi nach Leipzig“ wurde ausgerechnet ein DDR-Schauplatz in Szene gesetzt. Bei „Blaulicht“ und „Die fünfte Kolonne“ bezichtigen sich Ost und West gegenseitig der Spionage. – Spannende Gegensätze in der TV-Unterhaltung. Phase III: 1976 – 1982 4 Magazine | 2 Nachrichten ● Der schwarze Kanal (1976) – ZDF-Magazin (1976) ● Prisma (1970) – Kennzeichen D (1979) ● Aktuelle Kamera (1976) – Tagesschau (1976) Im Mittelpunkt dieses Zeitabschnittes stehen zwei konkurrierende politische Magazine aus Ost und West: „Der schwarze Kanal“ und das „ZDF-Magazin“. Die beiden Nachrichtensendungen „Aktuelle Kamera“ und „Tagesschau“ behandeln die unterschiedliche Darstellung der Ausbürgerung des kritischen DDR-Liedermachers Wolf Biermann. Phase IV: 1983 – 1989 2 Politmagazine | 2 Nachrichten ● Objektiv (1989) – Kontraste (1989) ● Aktuelle Kamera (1989) – Tagesschau (1989) Nachrichten und ihre Verbreitung stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Themenbereichs.

Und tatsächlich wird der künftige Weg der USA maßgeb- lich vom Wahlausgang bestimmt. Bei Donald Trump wäre relativ klar gewesen, was wir bekommen hätten: einen unberechenbaren, nicht zu multilateraler Absprache und langfristiger Strategie fähigen oder willigen Präsidenten. Joe Biden – der mit gut 81 Millionen so viele Stimmen wie kein Kandidat zuvor bekommen hat, aber doch relativ knapp ins Weiße Haus gewählt worden ist – steht hingegen für den Willen zu multilateralem Interessenausgleich im Inneren wie im Äußeren. Mit Kamala Harris steht zudem erstmals eine Politikerin als Vizepräsidentin an der Seite des 78-Jährigen, die für Aufbruch und Veränderungswillen steht. Aber bedeutet der Wahlausgang die von vielen ersehnte, deutliche Abkehr von Trump und seiner Politik?

Denkt ihr noch an das Weihnachtsfest 1924, als ihr alle krank waret? Micha hatte angstvolle Tage im Krankenhaus durchgemacht, die ihn knapp am Kehlkopfschnitt vorbeiführten, und durfte nun wieder zu Hause gesund werden, Andreas hatte Fieber und geschwollene Drüsen, und Ulla lag an den Folgen einer schweren Grippe. Da hatte der Vater mir telegraphiert, daß ich helfen solle zu pflegen. Wir rückten die Bettchen zusammen in dem sonnigen Kinderzimmer, ich setzte mich mit einem bunten Strickzeug zu euch, das noch ein Weihnachtsgeschenk werden sollte, und nun hieß es: «Enne, erzähl uns was!» Es war gerade so die rechte Zeit zum Erzählen; die Sonne war am Untergehen und sandte ihre letzten schrägen Strahlen durch das Fenster. Ulla hatte einen feuchten Wickel bekommen und sollte schwitzen, Andreas klemmte das Ärmchen, unter dem das Fieberthermometer steckte, fest, Micha lag nur noch zur Vorsicht im Bett, das heißt, man mußte aufpassen, daß er mit seinem hellgrünen Wollwams nicht allzu viel in seinem Gitterbettchen herumturnte.

LIPP=I* INTRODUCTION Since the end of World War II, ties and conflicts between the two Germanies, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Re- public of Germany (FRG), have served as an important barometer of the larger relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States.' While a clearly discernible improvement in the political, economic and cultural climates can be observed in recent years, three major points of contention remain as a basis of conflict between the two countries:, 1) the insistence on the part of the GDR that the West Germans recognize East German citizenship and nationhood;' 2) the demand by the GDR that the 100 kilometer Elbe River border (between the cities of Lauenburg and Schnakenburg) be relocated to the middle of the river, instead of being entirely within the Federal Republic of Germany;4 and 3) the GDR re- quest for the dissolution of the Zentrale Erfassungsstelle der Landesjus- tizverwaltungen in Salzgitter5 (Salzgitter Archives), a West German * Elizabeth A.
