SUMMARY:Robert Weltsch: German Zionism and Nationalism in Retrospect
DESCRIPTION:with Kobi Kabalek \n\nThe talk examines the private and public writings of Robert Weltsch (1891-1982)\, a prolific journalist and a prominent German Zionist\, who was a unique observer of his time. As editor in chief of the Berlin-based newspaper Jüdische Rundschau from 1919 to 1938\, Weltsch closely witnessed the destructive side of nationalism in Nazi Germany and warned against similar tendencies he saw among Zionists in the Jewish Yishuv in Mandatory Palestine. While he grew ever more critical of the forms of Zionism in the Yishuv\, he was also deeply connected to it\, and Palestine was the only place to which he could flee in 1938 and where he spent the war years. Although shortly after the war Weltsch left for London\, where he worked for many years in the Leo Baeck Institute\, he decided in the late 1970s to spend his last years in Jerusalem. The talk will examine Weltsch’s changing views and contradictory sentiments about Zionism as expressed in private correspondences\, published articles\, and interviews. The first part will discuss Weltsch’s conceptualization of “positive” and “negative” nationalism and his ambivalence toward the nationalistic expressions of political Zionism. The second part will focus on the postwar years and ask how Weltsch reassessed his own responses and views from the 1920s to 1940. Did he acknowledge past miscalculations and false prognoses and wholly embrace Israeli Zionism or rather continued to fight for his old ideas? \nThis event is part of Many Promised Lands\, LBI’s 2026 lecture series covering migration of German-Jewish refugees after 1946. \nThis programming is made possible through the generous support of the Levi-Thalheimer Fund for Research and Public History. \n \n\n\nKobi Kabalek (Ph.D. in history from the University of Virginia\, 2013) is Assistant Professor of German and Jewish Studies at Penn State University since 2019. His research focuses on historical perceptions\, moral sentiments\, emotions\, and memory in Holocaust testimonies\, historical writing\, and popular culture.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: All Consuming
DESCRIPTION:Germans\, Jews\, and the Meaning of Meat \n\n\nAuthor John Efron will engage in conversation with distinguished historian Michael Brenner and renowned Jewish food authority Joan Nathan. Together\, they will discuss Efron’s book All Consuming: Germans\, Jews\, and the Meaning of Meat from the dual perspective of German-Jewish history and food history. \nMeat is one of the most visible markers of Jewish distinctness and social separation. In his most recent book\, John Efron argues that meat has played an especially important role in the formation of Jewish and Christian identities in Germany from the Middle Ages until today. To an extent not seen elsewhere in Europe\, the importance of meat is reflected in many realms including the visual arts\, literature\, religion\, politics\, commerce\, and home life. Studying the history of meat and its multiple meanings in Germany tells us much about the changing nature of German and German-Jewish identity\, as well as the links between religion\, nationality\, politics\, and food. Above all\, focusing on meat provides us with a singular window into the rich\, fraught\, and ultimately tragic history of German Jewry. \n\n \n\n\nJohn Efron is the Koret Professor of Jewish History at the University of California at Berkeley\, where specializes in the cultural and social history of German Jewry. A native of Melbourne\, Australia\, he has a B.A. from Monash University\, an M.A. from New York University\, and a Ph.D. at Columbia University. In his work\, Efron has focused on the way German Jewry attempted to reinterpret and reinvent Jewish culture in the wake of its complex encounter with modernity. Among his publications are Defenders of the Race: Jewish Doctors and Race Science in Fin-de-Siècle Europe (Yale UP\, 1994); Medicine and the German Jews: A History (Yale UP\, 2001); German Jewry and the Allure of the Sephardic (Princeton UP\, 2016); The Jews: A Modern History (Routledge\, 2025); and All Consuming: Germans\, Jews\, and the Meaning of Meat (Stanford UP\, 2025). \n \n\n\nMichael Brenner is Distinguished Professor of History and Seymour and Lillian Abensohn Chair in Israel Studies at American University in Washington DC\, where he serves as director of the Center for Israel Studies. He also holds the chair of Jewish History and Culture at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. He is the International President of the Leo Baeck Institute for the Study of German-Jewish History and Culture and an elected member of the Bavarian Academy of Science\, the Accademia Nazionale Virgiliana in Italy and the American Academy for Jewish Research. In 2014 he was awarded the order of merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2020 he was the first recipient of the first Salo W. and Jeannette M. Baron Award for Scholarly Excellence in Research of the Jewish Experience. In 2023 he was awarded the Cultural Prize of Honor of the City of Munich. \nHe serves as member on many advisory committees\, among them the Commission of the German Government to Reappraise the Terror Attack at the Munich Olympics 1972\, the Institute for German and European Studies at the University of Haifa\, and the Jewish Museum Berlin. \nHe published 9 books\, which have been translated in 12 languages\, and edited 19 volumes. His latest publications are In Hitler’s Munich: Jews\, the Revolution\, and the Rise of Nazism (Princeton University Press 2022)\, In Search of Israel: The History of an Idea (Princeton University Press\, 2018)\, and A Short History of the Jews (Princeton University Press 2010). \n\n \n\n\nJoan Nathan is a frequent contributor to The New York Times and other publications. She is the author of twelve books\, including My Life in Recipes: Food\, Family\, and Recipes (2024). Her groundbreaking Jewish Cooking in America and The New American Cookbook both won James Beard Awards and IACP Awards\, and her celebrated King Solomon’s Table won an IACP Award and a Gourmand World Cookbook Award. She lives in Washington\, D.C.\, and on Martha’s Vineyard.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Bourgeois Germans and the Third Reich: How One Family Contributed to the Nazi Dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:21 May 2026\, 5:30PM – 07:00 PM \n  \n\nGerman Historical Institute London\, London WC1A 2NJ\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nDuring the Third Reich\, German political\, social\, economic\, and private life was transformed to such an extent that the Holocaust became thinkable and\, ultimately\, possible. Yet many Germans maintained a ‘not Nazi’ subjectivity\, drawing a line between themselves and overly zealous ‘150%’ Nazis. This talk uses the extensive private collection of letters and documents of Annemarie and Heinrich Brenzinger\, Sandra Lipner’s great-grandparents from south-west Germany\, to discuss why bourgeois Germans who were not enthusiastic about Hitler still willingly embraced the Third Reich. \n\n\n\nSandra Lipner is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in History at University College London\, working on the AHRC / DFG project ‘Good Citizens\, Terrible Times: Notions of Individuality\, Community and Responsibility in the Holocaust’. She completed her AHRC- funded PhD in History and German Studies at Royal Holloway\, University of London. Her work explores the use of ego-documents as sources for a history of mentalities of the Third Reich and the early postwar period. In 2023\, she co-curated the exhibition ‘Holocaust Letters’ at the Wiener Holocaust Library\, London. \n\n\n\nThis year’s lecture series explores the diverse ways in which the German past shapes its present – in memory\, identity\, and political culture. From the everyday complicity of the German bourgeoisie under National Socialism to Jewish life and Holocaust commemoration in the GDR\, these lectures illuminate the lingering legacies and unresolved tensions of the 20th century. They also turn outwards\, tracing the paths of German- speaking Jewish refugees outside Europe and questioning the persistence and transformation of antisemitism today. Together\, they offer critical insights into the afterlife of the German past and its significance for the moral and political questions of our time. \n\n\n\nLectures in this series will be held at the German Historical Institute London\, 17 Bloomsbury Square\, London WC1A 2NJ\, and will also be live streamed on Zoom. Admission is free\, but places are strictly limited and must be reserved in advance via Eventbrite. Lectures will begin promptly; latecomers may not be admitted. \n\n\n\nZoom links will be shared with registered participants closer to the date of each event. Further details will be circulated via our mailing list\, social media channels\, and website. \n\n\n\nOrganised by the Leo Baeck Institute London in cooperation with the German Historical Institute London. \nAdmission is free\, please register here. \n\n\n\nOverview of the 2026 Lecture Series

SUMMARY:Book Club: Castle Gripsholm
DESCRIPTION:with Mikael Olsson Berggren \n  \n\nCastle Gripsholm\, the best and most beloved work by Kurt Tucholsky\, is a short novel about an enchanted summer holiday. It begins with an assignment: Tucholsky’s publisher wants him to write something light and funny\, otherwise about whatever Tucholsky wants. A deal is struck and the story is off: about Peter\, a writer; his girlfriend\, known as the Princess; and a summer vacation far from the hurly-burly of Berlin. Peter and the Princess have rented a small house attached to a historic castle in Sweden\, and they have five weeks of long days and white nights at their disposal; five weeks for swimming and walking and sex and talking and visits with Peter’s buddy Karlchen and with Billie\, the Princess’s best friend. It is perfect\, until they meet a weeping girl fleeing the cruel headmistress of a home for children. The vacationers decide they must free the girl and send her back to her mother in Switzerland\, which brings about an encounter with authority that casts a worrying shadow over their radiant summer idyll. Soon they must return to Germany. What kind of fairy tale are they living in? \n(New York Review of Books). \nKurt Tucholsky \nKurt Tucholsky was a German journalist\, satirist\, and writer. He also wrote under the pseudonyms Kaspar Hauser (after the historical figure)\, Peter Panter\, Theobald Tiger and Ignaz Wrobel. \nA politically engaged journalist and temporary co-editor of the weekly magazine Die Weltbühne\, he was also a satirist\, an author of satirical political revues\, a songwriter\, and a poet. He saw himself as a left-wing democrat and pacifist and warned against anti-democratic tendencies — above all in politics and the military — and the threat of Nazism. His fears were confirmed when the Nazis came to power in January 1933. In May of that year he was among the authors whose works were banned as „un-German“ and burned; he was also among the first authors and intellectuals whose German citizenship was revoked. \n \n\n\nOur Guest\, Associate Professor Mikael Olsson Berggren \nMikael Olsson Berggren is Visiting Assistant Professor of German in the Department of Languages and Literary Studies at Lafayette College. He received his Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2022. Dr. Berggren’s research focuses on the history and cultural representations of transportation networks\, and his work has appeared in The German Quarterly\, The Journal of Transport History\, and Holocaust and Genocide Studies. In 2024\, he received the Max Kade Prize for best article published in The German Quarterly for an article exploring representations of Berlin’s underground metro system in Weimar-era Berlin\, including work by Kurt Tucholsky. His other research interests include co-curricular pedagogy\, the intersections of poetry and short prose\, and the ways in which literature and film engage with Holocaust memory beyond documentary representation.
