Putting History in its Place: The Spatial Exclusion of Jews in Nazi-er
Drawing on examples from over 150 oral history testimonies, as well as other personal memory sources, this talk illustrates how accounts from Holocaust survivors can shed new light on the ways that the spaces of everyday life changed for Berlin’s Jews under the Nazi regime. Focusing on the neighbourhood and the home as spaces of analysis enables historians to engage directly with the redefinition and destruction of sites that once provided a sense of belonging to many of Berlin’s Jews.
