The bilingual Jahrbuch des Dubnow-Instituts/Dubnow Institute Yearbook is available as a free open access publication. The focal point is dedicated to the German-Jewish poet Else Lasker-Schüler. The general section focuses on the material traces of Jewish life worlds in East Central Europe. In addition, the publication will appear in classic book form in mid-August. The editor is the director of the Dubnow Institute, Yfaat Weiss.
Else Lasker-Schüler was born in 1869 in what is now Wuppertal and is considered an outstanding representative of avant-garde modernism and expressionism. After the transfer of power to the National Socialists in 1933, she emigrated to Zurich, from where she made three journeys to Palestine. Through selected works like the poetry volume »Hebräische Balladen« (Hebrew Ballads) published in 1913, the poet’s imaginations of Pales-tine are compared to her actual experiences as processed in other works like the 1937 volume »Das Hebräerland« (The Land of the Hebrews). Several historical and literary contributions relate Lasker-Schüler's writing to the imaginative world of her contemporaries by conceptualizing the fate of flight and exile, the irredeemable loss of home, and the significance of the mother tongue as aspects of a specific German-Jewish experience.
In the general section various items and collections of Jewish provenance are used to explore the dynamics of sometimes multiple histories of destruction as well as of transnational preservation initiatives during and after World War II. The yearbook also includes contributions on Italian Jewish history, on Jewish history as a subject of historiography, and on legal history.
The Yearbook is a peer-reviewed journal. All submissions undergo an anonymous review procedure, the success of which is the precondition for publication.
