In 2025, in honor of LBI's 70th anniversary, scholars looked back at 70 years of German-Jewish historiography in a monthly series. All the lectures are available to watch now.
Each generation of historians witnesses the appearance of different approaches to historical writing. After decades of focusing on the main political events in German-Jewish history and biographies of political leaders, there has been a turn to microhistory, the role of common people, women and children, minorities, stories dominated by struggles and failures, etc. In this series, the LBI presents a comprehensive view of seven overarching topics in German-Jewish history and ask how their historiography has changed over the decades.
The lectures are all available to watch now.

June 11: Magda Teter on early modern German-Jewish history
July 30: Leora Batnitzky on religion in German-Jewish history
September 10: Tobias Brinkmann on Migration
