This book provides a social and cultural history of Jewish art in
Nazi Germany, with a focus on the Jewish artists, art critics, and
audiences in Nazi Bavaria. From the time of its conceptualization
in the autumn of 1933 until its final curtain call in November
1938, the Jewish Cultural League in Bavaria sustained three
departments: music, visual arts, and adult education. The Bavarian
example steps outside the highly professional cultural milieu of
Jewish Berlin, and instead looks at relatively unknown efforts of
Bavarian Jewish artists as they used art to define what it now
meant, to them, to be Jewish under Nazism. Insightful and engaging,
this book is ideal for advanced undergraduate students, graduate
students, and scholars interested in social and cultural histories
of Jews in Germany.

There's falling in love for the first time, and then there's
falling in love all over again with the ex-wife. Next are six
girlfriends, one turquoise miner, and he can't bring himself to
make a choice. And when the Chamber of Commerce drags the town into
Tea Party politics with a plan to privatize every stinking thing
the government does, that's when the citizens fight back. It's
madcap High Desert hijinks, it's the new Naked Night at the hot
springs, and a burro with stronger feelings for her miner than
words could ever say. And most important there are the newly vowed
married couples arriving at the resort for the biggest day of their
life. Why, it's time to unpack those bags, hop in the water, and
enjoy your very own Hot Spring Honeymoon.

The social history of the genocide, its representation in postwar
culture, and new theoretical approaches stand at the forefront of
current research in a range of disciplines. Analyses at the most
intimate scale-of the individual or of a particular locale- are
juxtaposed with those that turn to broader studies of the war or
postwar order. Complementing these different scales are theoretical
investigations that address individual agency, moral judgment, and
the construction of meaning and memory in the study of the victims
of the Holocaust and in our understanding of society as a whole.
Together they mark the contemporary scholarly landscape of
Holocaust studies, which includes history as well as film and
literary studies, philosophy, and religious studies (among other
disciplines). Each of the volume's three sections contributes to
understanding the Holocaust and postwar ramifications of the
genocide by focusing on: 1) the history of specific communities of
both victims and perpetrators; 2) postwar cultural representations;
and 3) new theoretical understandings of each. The essays in this
volume thus represent new interests in the field that contribute to
building integrated histories of the Holocaust.
