| Project title | Jewish Social Work in Germany after 1945: From the Beginnings to the Present - Search for Traces and Discourse Analysis |
| Project period | 2022-2025 (extended until 2026) |
| Funding | DFG (Priority Program 2357) |
| Project description | The sub-project at Munich University of Applied Sciences is researching 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 re-founding in 1951. Of particular interest is the question of which social traditions survived after 1945 in the face of a changing Jewish population in Germany and which were 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. |
