We were given a guided tour of the Jewish Museum in Berlin this last Monday, with a half hour at the end to explore on our own. The main body of the museum is ordered chronologically from the first time Jewish people are known to be living in Western Europe. I tried to start from the beginning of the installations with my half hour, but I didn’t get far at all so I promised myself that I would to talk a little more in.<\/p>\n

Our tour guide’s (Viktor) lecture was on the years between 1871-1933, beginning with the construction of the New Synagogue in Breslau (now Poland) in 1872. The architecture referenced Christian architecture and was an expression of the Jewish community’s \u00a0citizenship in what was the newly founded “unified Germany.” Viktor emphasized that the Jewish Germans had been made to take painfully tiny and patient steps to “earn” their civil rights within the German nation in those years leading up to 1933 and had only a few years of freedom before the rise of fascism and the anti-Semitic agenda.<\/p>\n

I was immediately reminded of the set design of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a German silent horror film from 1920.\u00a0\"J\u00fcdisches \"J\u00fcdisches<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
