Lunchtime Lecture: Jonathan R. Zatlin on Migration in German-Jewish History
On October 22, Jonathan R. Zatlin will continue LBI's Anniversary Lecture Series with a talk about economics German-Jewish historiography.
Part 5 of LBI's 70th anniversary lecture series
On October 22 at 12:00 PM EST, Jonathan R. Zatlin will discuss early modern German-Jewish history.
As we look back at the last 70 years of German-Jewish historiography since the founding of the Leo Baeck Institute, LBI presents a series of seven events focusing on the most important topics in German Jewish history. Each generation of historians witnesses the appearance of different approaches to historical writing. After decades of focusing on the main political events in German-Jewish history and biographies of political leaders, there has been a turn to microhistory, the role of common people, women and children, minorities, stories dominated by struggles and failures, etc. In the new series, the LBI will present a comprehensive view of seven overarching topics in German Jewish history and ask how their historiography has changed over the decades.
