The Buber-Rosenzweig Institute for Jewish Intellectual and Cultural History of the Modern and Contemporary Periods at Goethe University Frankfurt and the LOEWE Center "DynaRel – Dynamics of the Religious" invite you to Frankfurt for the presentation of the newly published book: "Being Jewish in Nazi Germany. Lived Space, Lived Time" by Prof. Guy Miron. Nazi persecution threatened German Jews in increasingly severe ways: through social, cultural, and economic exclusion, emigration or forced resettlement, forced labor, deportation, and concentration camps. Their experience of space and time was also profoundly altered. Jews faced ever-increasing restrictions on their lives, a lack of opportunities to plan and shape their time, and the difficulties of waiting for the unknown. How did they cope with their exclusion from public life? How was their communal life reorganized, and what changes took place in their private lives? How did their growing hardship affect how they experienced the passage of time? These are some of the questions addressed in the book and in a conversation between Christian Wiese and Stefan Vogt with Guy Miron on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 6:15 p.m. on the Westend Campus of Goethe University.

Guy Miron is Professor of Jewish History at the Open University of Israel. He is also Director of the Center for Research on the Holocaust in Germany at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem. His research focuses on German and Central European Jewish history.
