The Jewish Experience in German Literature and Culture
Credit Hours:

This course investigates the contributions of Jews and Jewish culture to the German-speaking world. The focus is on how Jewish writers, thinkers, and artists portray their experiences and identities. We will read texts and view films that reflect the responses of Jews (and non-Jews) to discrimination, emancipation, assimilation from the 18th century through the Holocaust, to the Jewish presence in Germany and Austria today. Texts read include fiction, essay, and memoir. The emphasis in class is on discussion, not lecture. Open to all UGA students.Taught in English.
