Generously sponsored by Laurayne Rather and co-sponsored by Thurgood Marshall College.On December 19, 1980, Shlomo Lewin, the former chairman of the Jewish community in Nuremberg, and his partner Frida Poeschke were shot dead in their house in Erlangen. Instead of pursuing the leads that led to the right-wing extremist group Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann, investigators concentrated on Lewin’s social environment for a long time. In this lecture, the German historian Uffa Jensen reconstructs the crime and its motivations, unearthing a history of violence, trivialization, and repression that continues to this day. Jensen is a historian of modern history and serves as the deputy director at the Centre for Research on Antisemitism at the Technische Universität in Berlin. His publications include “Wie die Couch nach Kalkutta kam: Eine Globalgeschichte der frühen Psychoanalyse” (Berlin 2019); “Zornpolitik” (Berlin 2017); “Recht und Politik, Perspektiven deutsch- jüdischer Geschichte” (Paderborn 2014); and “Gebildete Doppelgänger. Bürgerliche Juden und Protestanten im 19. Jahrhundert” (Göttingen 2005).This event will be held in the Seuss Room at Geisel Library. There will also be a virtual option for those who prefer to join online:<ul><li>I﻿n-Person Event Registration: Click the red Register button above.*</li></ul><ul><li>Z﻿oom Webinar Registration: <a href="https://ucsd.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Y3sx7jmRSBq-zIfKEm5zqA" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to register, do not use the red button.</li></ul>*﻿Registering to attend the lecture in-person does not automatically register you for the Zoom Webinar to watch it online.
