STUDENT'S RESEARCH

Preserving Jewish Heritage in Germany.

The role of museums in terms of social reality

 

A Case study by Sarai Hannah-Marie Schulz

Museums are in a position of power concerning the definition of a society’s values and knowledge. In my project, I want to focus on Jewish museums in Germany, following the leading question: To what extent can Jewish museums use the shared heritage concept to provide for more German-Jewish understanding and make a direct contribution to the prevention of Anti-Semitism?
