Germany and Israel—a story of guilt and an unlikely friendship
It is quite obvious that throughout the last six decades Israel and Germany have been connected through the Holocaust and its aftermath. What at first glance seems to be a rather unlikely relationship—especially in light of the shared history—has evolved over time into a blossoming friendship and successful economic bond. In order for this to happen Germany had to face its Nazi legacy and subsequent collective guilt. Join German Historian Anette Isaacs as she discusses how her native country has attempted to cope with the guilt of causing the Holocaust and how this painful but necessary process heralded a new era in German- Israeli relations.

The "other Germany": Dictatorship and everyday life in the GDR
In the last two decades since the Unification, Historians have dedicated themselves mostly to East Germany’s political system and its oppressive instruments such as the secret police STASI. But although East Germany was a Dictatorship, there were still 16 Million people who, over a period of 40 years, were living a more or less normal life. Our two session seminar will explore just what daily life in communist East Germany was like. Join German Historian Anette Isaacs for a fascinating introduction into the East German way of life, its food and culture, education, consumerism (or the lack thereof!) and everyday items that were giving the GDR its identity and made it so different from its big capitalist sister, the Federal Republic (West Germany).

Interesting, nicht wahr?
