    Abstract: Auf der ganzen Welt feiert man im Dezember Weihnachten und Chanukka: mit Lebkuchen oder Latkes, zwischen Tradition und Kommerz, religiösem Bekenntnis und politischer Botschaft. Dieses Buch schaut zurück auf die Geschichte der Feiertage, die an die Geburt Jesu bzw. die Wiedereinweihung des Jerusalemer Tempels vor mehr als zweitausend Jahren erinnern. Die Autoren gehen den Ursprüngen nach, schildern Riten und Gebräuche und spüren kulturelle Wechselwirkungen zwischen beiden Festtraditionen auf. Erstaunliches und Amüsantes, Kitsch und Kunst illustrieren weltliche und religiöse Aspekte und vermitteln so dem Leser einen facettenreichen Einblick in die Entwicklung der populären christlichen und jüdischen Feste.
    Abstract: Christmas and Hanukkah are celebrated throughout the world in December - with gingerbread or latkes, between tradition, commerce, and family celebration, with a profession of one's religious beliefs or political message. This book examines the history of these holidays that recall the birth of Jesus and the rededication of the Temple, respectively, more than two thousand years ago. The authors investigate the holidays' origins, their rituals and customs, and search out the cultural interrelations between both traditions. Surprising and amusing, through kitsch and art, this book illustrates religious and secular aspects, and offer an insight into the rich and diverse developments of the popular Christian and Jewish holidays.
    Note: Umschlag des Buches: Originalgraphik von Art Spiegelman, als Titelblatt der Zeitschrift: "The New Yorker", 18.12.2000.

    Abstract: The Jewish Museum in Berlin tells the story of German-Jewish history from the fourth century to the present. It consists of two buildings: the first, a former courthouse, was built in the eighteenth century, and the second, a massive extension that opened to the public in 2001, was designed by the world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind (born 1946). Libeskind's building is comprised of a zinc façade and a set of three underground allegorical roads. The first leads to the main stairs, and by implication to the continuation of Berlin's history in the Museum; the second leads outdoors into the E.T.A. Hoffmann Garden, representing the exile and emigration of the Jews from Germany; and the third road leads to a dead end, representing "the Holocaust void." This road cuts through the ensemble as a whole, and evokes, in the architect's words, "that which can never be exhibited when it comes to Jewish Berlin history: humanity reduced to ashes." For Libeskind, a Polish Jew raised not far from Berlin who lost many relatives in the Holocaust, this extraordinary building was an intensely personal undertaking with numerous responsibilities. This volume details this most freighted and complex of buildings.
