Example workshops
The exclusion of the Jewish people in Germany:
“the entire national community becomes enlightened about the Jewish question; it learns that the national community is a community of blood; for the first time it understands race thinking and, instead of an overly theoretical approach to the Jewish question, it is confronted with a concrete solution.”
(Achim Gercke, the specialist for race research at the Ministry of the Interior)
The Nirenberg lows are known, but in Germany there was more than 2000 anti- Jewish lows were legislated and many of them meant to deflect the daily life of the Jewish people and their relations with the non-Jewish German people. Through learning and getting to know those rules, we’ll learn about the lows influence on the Jewish community and how they implement the racist perceptions among the non-Jewish people in Germany.
