| Project period | 2020-2023 (extended until 2025) |
| Funding | ELES doctoral funding |
| Project description | The doctorate deals with the conflict constellations of Jewish youth and social pedagogy in post-national socialism from a disciplinary and professional-historical perspective of social work. It is completed in the form of a cumulative dissertation. Follow-up project: "Jewish Social Work in Germany after 1945. From the Beginnings to the Present - Search for Traces and Discourse Analysis" (2022-2025, extended until 2026). The DFG sub-project (in Priority Programme 2357), based at Munich University of Applied Sciences, researches the representation and perception of Jewish institutions and their social work after 1945. It is primarily dedicated to the history of the ZWST after its refounding in 1951. Of particular interest is the question of which social traditions have survived after 1945 in the face of a changing Jewish population in Germany and which have broken off. Which individuals or groups were involved in these processes of preservation or change? What kind of tradition can we speak of when far-reaching migration processes have repeatedly been a decisive challenge for Jewish social work, when the break basically becomes continuity? What traces have the integration achievements left behind in cultural memory? For the first time, the ZWST's work after its re-establishment in 1951 will be discussed in the context of academic research. The internal connections and conflicts as well as the perception of the ZWST on the part of the non-Jewish professional public are to be recorded. |
