Ruth Schloss
Drawing lines between German heritage and Israeli cultural sphere
A case study Natalya Zolotar
The artist Ruth Schloss was born in Nuremberg, Germany and immigrated to Israel in 1937. Immigration from Germany in the 1930s brought with it a new cultural nuance to Palestine-Israel. The “Yekkes” (The German immigrants’ nickname) retained aspects of their former life and their German cultural identity. My research will explore: What are the affinities, the relations, and the influences of Cultural German Heritage on Schloss’s art? How much “Germany and Stuttgart” are in “Israel and Tel-Aviv”, and what can we learn about wandering of the cultural German ideas and heritage and their translation into Israeli cultural sphere?

ABOUT THE PROJECT
“Shared and/or Contradictory Heritage? Perspectives on German and Israeli Arts, Museums, and Societies”
— an international students’ project
With the support of the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM for University Students - BWS plus, a programme of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung, a two-year-project on the topic “Shared and/or Contradictory Heritage? Perspectives on German and Israeli Arts, Museums and Societies,” has been started by the Institute for Cultural Management at the Ludwigsburg University of Education, and the M.Ed. in Art Education, Faculty of Arts – Hamidrasha at the Beit Berl College, Israel. Part of the project is a one-year student research laboratory in which around 20 German and Israeli students from two different Master’s programs work together on the topic. The starting point of the project is a cultural heritage model that has recently become popular throughout the world: that of shared heritage. It tries to rethink the concept of cultural heritage and develops new narratives about a common history told through cultural heritage in cultural institutions. Therefore, it also appears to be a suitable answer to the issue of cultural heritage that migrated from the original location.
But is the model also tenable when multiple claims of ownership are formulated; when socio-political self-images diverge? Where do the pitfalls and problems for transnational narratives lie when cultural heritage is nationally managed and owned? These are the questions that the project asks and to which it tries to find answers by means of case studies.
Involving 20 students from Germany and Israel, the project also has a model character: On the one hand, students discuss a relevant question in a comparative cultural context. On the other hand, new forms of teaching and learning are used, including virtual working groups and re-learning platforms, as well as one-week excursions to the respective partner country.
The project is led by Dr. Christiane Dätsch (PH Ludwigsburg) and Dr. Chava Brownfield-Stein (Beit Berl College). The idea for it was born during an ERASMUS Lecturer Exchange, but also underpins the 30-year strategic partnership between the two universities.
