Our new dossier on Martha Glass initiated the new season “Persecution, Remembrance, Reappraisal” of the podcast Jewish History Compact, jointly produced by IGdJ and MMZ. Listen in (interview in German)!

On January 31, 2021, the dossier on the diaries of Martha Glass was ceremonially launched. The dossier provides the original diary pages, the transcripts, a detailed introduction as well as a collection of material with further relevant sources and suitable online resources. Additional dossiers will be added in the future.

In “Hafen und Heimat,” the first episode of the new podcast series Jewish History Compact, Sonja Dickow-Rotter and Björn Siegel provide insights into the background, conception and implementation of our current online exhibition “On the Ship – ‘as on another Earth’” (the interview in German).

As part of the online source edition “Key Documents of German-Jewish History”, the Institute for the History of German Jews in Hamburg has developed two tours along the traces of Hamburg’s Jewish past. The entries could partly be taken from the digitized version of the map “Places of Jewish Life and Jewish History in Hamburg.”

The two tours (in German):

Historical tour through Hamburg’s Grindelviertel

On the trail of Jewish heritage – the various stations provide insights into the long and varied Jewish past in the Grindelviertel.

Bicycle tour along the traces of the Jewish past between the Hamburg Neustadt and Altona.

The individual stations of the bicycle tour follow Jewish traces between Hamburger Neustadt and Altona, from the former “Judenbörse” in Elbstraße or the temple in Poolstraße to the Jewish Hospital in today’s Simon-von-Utrecht-Straße and the cemetery at Königstraße.

You can download the app for free at Google Play (Android devices) or in the German Apple App Store.
