    Keywords: Architektur ; Synagoge
    Abstract: Is there such a thing as Jewish Architecture? - Scholars, scientists, and researchers from all over the world gathered in Braunschweig to answer just this question. The problem of a specific Jewish character in works of art and architecture has been a point of growing interest during the last decades. Case studies, regional surveys, and essays contained in this volume offer an insight into the variety of Europe̷s architectural and urban structures that could be considered Jewish by origin. With the help of this architectural heritage, Jewish presence in Europe can be detected all the way back to early Jewish settlements in the Mediterranean region. From this time on, sacred and secular Jewish buildings are interwoven into the pattern of their Christian and Muslim surroundings. A straight line can be drawn connecting the medieval and early-modern shul with the magnificent synagogues of the ̮Golden AgeŁ and the large community centers built in the Neues Bauen style. After the hiatus caused by the Shoah, newly expanding Jewish communities find expression in new architectural forms which are also reflected in the architecture of present-day Jewish museums. In 34 Beiträgen berichten Fachleute und Wissenschaftler aus zahlreichen Staaten Europas, den USA und Israel über aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse und zukünftige Fragestellungen und Aufgaben der Erforschung jüdischer Bauwerke in Europa. Vor allem die Architekturgeschichte der Synagogen steht im Zentrum des Forschungsinteresses. Ihre Entwicklung lässt sich von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart verfolgen, sie nahm in den verschiedenen Regionen Europas jeweils andere Wege und führte zu charakteristisch unterschiedlichen Bauten. Der Nationalsozialismus und der Zweite Weltkrieg haben große Teile des architektonischen Erbes jüdischer Kultur in Europa zerstört, und bis heute sind jüdische Bauten in ihrem Bestand gefährdet. Mit Beiträgen von Zoya Arshavsky, Eleonora Bergman, Sonja Beyer, Maroš Borský, Ralf Busch, Hans-Christoph Dittscheid, Miguel Angel Espinosa Villegas, Daniela Gauding, Samuel Gruber, Hans-Christof Haas, Isabel Haupt, Elko Hazan, Ingolf Herbarth, Dominique Jarrassé, Sharman Kadish, Katrin Keßler, Rudolf Klein, Jaroslav Klenovsky, Ulrich Knufinke, Sergey Kravtsov, Carol H.

    Abstract: John Izbicki has an exciting story to tell. Berlin-born, he lived through the horrors of Nazi persecution and, on the day after his eighth birthday, he witnessed the Kristallnacht, and the smashing of his parents' shop windows. The Izbickis escaped to England and he began a remarkable journey from school to university, two years of national service. He became the distinguished education correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, then head of the Telegraph's Paris office.

    Abstract: In July 1941, Bernard Burton and his parents escaped Nazi Berlin on one of the last "Jewish wagons going west. The family traveled to Spain and then to Cuba, using visas that no official noticed had expired months before, and remained in Cuba for three years before joining relatives in the United States. There, young Bernard would go on to serve in the U.S. Army, attend college, marry, have a successful career and raise a family. Through the years, Bernard corresponded with journalists, academics and others about topics relating to the Holocaust and to his life as a Jewish child and teen in Nazi Berlin. With an adult's hindsight formed by decades of reflection, he has assembled these letters and crafted narrative around them, and has shared descriptions of related events from later in life. The result is a vivid look at a world witnessed by a Jewish child under Hitler, a European refugee in Cuba, an American soldier occupying his native German soil, and ultimately an adult, a grandfather and a survivor.

    Keywords: Libeskind, Daniel ; Kabbala ; Kunst ; Architektur
    Abstract: The Kabbalistic idea of creation, as expressed through light, space, and geometry, has left its unmistakeable mark on our civilization. Drawing upon a wide array of historical materials and stunning images of contemporary art, sculpture, and architecture, architect Alexander Gorlin explores the influence, whether actually acknowledged or not, of the Kabbalah on modern design in his unprecedented book Kabbalah in Art and Architecture. Comprising ten chapters that each outline key concepts of the Kabbalah and its representations, both in historic diagrams and the modern built environment, Kabbalah in Art and Architecture puts forth an unparalleled and compelling reinterpretation of art and architecture through the lens of the Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism. A chapter on the Golem, and an epilogue that discusses German artist Anselm Kiefer̷s powerful interpretations of the Kabbalah, complete this unique book.
