# Event Details - **Event Name**: The German Case: What It Tells Us About Antisemitism Worldwide - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Nov, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 19 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+00:00) - **Event Description**: Speaker: Günther Jikeli Part of the LBI London Lecture Series 2026About this EventOnce the driving force of antisemitism worldwide, Nazi Germany waged war against Jews everywhere, radicalising antisemitism in word and deed. After 1945, Germany was pacified by the Allies, and open antisemitism became the antithesis of the new democratic Staatsräson. Yet today, antisemitism has returned – from the far right, parts of the radical left, Islamist movements, and the centre of society. This lecture examines the German case in a global context and asks whether the postwar Staatsräson – the commitment to Jewish life and Israel’s security – can hold, and what this means for Europe and the wider Jewish diaspora.Günther Jikeli is the Erna B. Rosenfeld Associate Professor for the Study of Antisemitism and Interim Director of the Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University Bloomington. His research focuses on contemporary antisemitism, conspiracy ideologies, and online hate speech in Europe and the United States.https://www.lbilondon.ac.uk/jikeli-26This year’s lecture series explores the diverse ways in which the German past shapes its present – in memory, identity, and political culture. From the everyday complicity of the German bourgeoisie under National Socialism to Jewish life and Holocaust commemoration in the GDR, these lectures illuminate the lingering legacies and unresolved tensions of the 20th century. They also turn outwards, tracing the paths of German- speaking Jewish refugees outside Europe and questioning the persistence and transformation of antisemitism today. Together, they offer critical insights into the afterlife of the German past and its significance for the moral and political questions of our time.Lectures in this series will be held at the German Historical Institute London, 17 Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2NJ, and will also be live streamed on Zoom.

Its members conduct and support research into the history and culture of German-speaking Jewry from the 17th century to the present day. The Institute aims to facilitate academic exchange among all of those engaged in understanding the history and culture of German-speaking Jews in Europe and throughout its diaspora. The LBI London also encourages the study of the German and European Jewish experience from the 17th to the 21st centuries to help understand contemporary socio-political debates concerning immigration, minorities, integration, and civil rights. Teaching and research capacities expanded significantly with the move in 2011 from its historic home in central London to Queen Mary, University of London. Since then the LBI London has established German- and European-Jewish History and Culture as a teaching and research field at the School of History at Queen Mary. The LBI London remains an independent institute and is a registered charity under English law.WebsiteFacebookTwitter" } ] } ] ```
