SUMMARY:NOVEMBER 12
DESCRIPTION:The future of remembrance in united Germany: Illustrated Talk with refreshments. Speaker – Dr Debbie Pinfold; University of Bristol. When Germany reunited in 1990  East and West Germany had very distinct memory cultures of the National Socialism and World War II. The years following unification were  marked by efforts to create a unified culture of remembrance which would also support a sense of cohesive national identity. Yet as these events pass from lived memory and the past becomes contested again\, Germany’s culture of remembrance is at a transitional moment. Venue: St Peter’s Church Henleaze\, Meeting Room. 7.45pm \n##

She will explore their impact on language and society and critically evaluate reactions to both features.  Venue: St Peter’s Church Henleaze\, Meeting Room. 7.15pm (time tbc) \n##

SUMMARY:MAY 20
DESCRIPTION:First in a new series of German films (at Stoke Lodge): Phoenix – directed by Christian Petzold. \nPetzold writes his own scripts\, but the films all have a link to either periods or real events in history\, so this gives them a strong feeling of authenticity. He is also a political activist and social campaigner. Many of his films have featured the actor Nina Hoss has won many awards for her performances but she also campaigns for social justice. The most successful film from the partnership between Petzold and Hoss is the multi award winning ‘Barbara\,’ which we showed last year in our series on East Germany. \nIn this film Hoss plays Auschwitz survivor Nelly who is heavily bandaged after facial surgery. On returning home she finds that her husband has remarried. He does not recognise her but sees a faint resemblance so asks her to take on the identity of his former wife to access her inherited fortune. She agrees so becomes her own imposter. \n##

SUMMARY:February is History Month at Bristol-Hannover!
DESCRIPTION:** For those of you who do not like to travel too far during the winter months when the days are short\, the Bristol-Hannover Council has just the thing. During February\, we are curating three on-line talks from leading academics on topics which I know will appeal to our members.  \nThe talks are hosted by our friends at the German Historical Institute in London and the Leo Baeck Institute. You can attend as many as you like. They are all free of charge\, but in some cases require you to register in advance on-line. Don’t worry\, the process is very simple?. \nIf you have never been in a Zoom conference before\, it’s pretty straightforward-the main thing is to mute your device when the lecturer is talking. There is a good primer here: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/bp-assets/globalassets/trafford/how-to-use-zoom-for-the-first-time.pdf. \nLooking forward to seeing you at the sessions and hearing your reflections afterwards. \nThe Programme \nFEBRUARY 18 – Winner and Losers\, Britain and Germany after WW2 — GHIL online lecture  5.30pm\nhttps://www.ghil.ac.uk/events/lectures#c6501 \nHow do historical narratives and memories shape our understanding of national identity and collective memory? \nLucy Noakes (University of Essex) and Frank Trentmann (Birkbeck) reflect on how the Second World War has shaped Germany and Britain after 1945. The conversation will offer insights into the ways in which the two nations navigated the aftermath of the war and redefined their identities and roles in the contemporary world. \nAbout the speakers: \nLucy Noakes\, Professor of History at the University of Essex\, specialises in the social and cultural history of early to mid-twentieth-century Britain\, with a particular focus on people’s experiences and memories of the world wars. Her recent publication\, Dying for the Nation\, focuses on the history of death\, grief and bereavement in Second World War Britain. This research places the experience and memory of death at the forefront of understanding the British war experience\, exploring how death was managed and remembered during this period. From November 2024 she will be President of the Royal Historical Society. \nFrank Trentmann\, Professor of History at Birkbeck\, University of London\, is a historian of modern Britain\, Germany and the world. His research explores the interplay between material\, political and moral change. His latest book\, Out of the Darkness: The Germans 1942–2022\, follows the German people’s journey from the horrors of the Nazi era to their moral and social reinvention\, and its limits. Trentmann’s work captures the dramatic changes during and after the Cold War\, the division and reunification of Germany\, and the nation’s evolving and ambivalent role on the world stage. \nFEBRUARY 20 – ‘Before the Holocaust’ : Leo Baeck Institute online book talk  7.00pm\nhttps://www.lbilondon.ac.uk/ \nHistorians have traditionally argued that antisemitic violence in Nazi Germany rose gradually\, from low levels during the first years of Hitler’s rule to a high point in the Reich-wide pogrom of November 1938. ?Before the Holocaust\, based on research in more than ?2?0 German archives\, demonstrates that this long-held assumption is wrong. During the months-long Nazi takeover of power\, beginning a mere five weeks after Hitler became Chancellor\, waves of antisemitic violence engulfed large parts of Germany. ?Before the Holocaust? examines the multitude of these hitherto unrecognized antisemitic attacks in the late winter and spring of 1933\, as well as the reaction of German elites and institutions to this violence. \n?Hermann Beck is Professor of History at the University of Miami. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California\, Los Angeles after studying History and Literature at German universities (Mannheim\, Freiburg\, and Berlin)\, the London School of Economics\, and the Sorbonne. He has been a Fulbright Scholar and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. His publications include books on nineteenth-century Germany\, The Origins of the Authoritarian Welfare State in Prussia and the late Weimar and Nazi periods. \nFEBRUARY 27 – ‘Cold War Games’ GHIL on line lecture  5.30 pm https://www.ghil.ac.uk/events/lectures \nMaren Röger (Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe)\n(Cold) War Games: Scenarios on Both Sides of the Iron Curtain \nIn co-operation with the Modern History Research Seminar\, University of Oxford \n“During the Cold War\, millions of people on both sides of the Iron Curtain played board and digital games in living rooms\, barracks\, and schools. They played classics such as Memory in the FRG and Merk-Fix in the GDR\, but also games with names like Fulda Gap and Class Struggle. In this lecture\, I will present games–for a long time neglected by Cold War Studies–as a relevant part of popular culture in the 1970s and 1980s. First\, I will show how they played a significant role in conveying to a popular audience the fundamental characteristics of the East-West conflict. Second\, I will focus on GDR board games and analyse their territorial and ideological worlds and boundaries.” \nMaren Röger has been Director of the Leibniz Institute for the History and Culture of Eastern Europe and Senior Professor of Central and Eastern European History at the University of Leipzig since ?2021. Her numerous publications include monographs on the gender history of German-occupied Poland\, the visual history of Habsburg Bucovina\, and entangled memories of post-war expulsions\, and articles on board and computer games in the Cold War. \nIAN TURNER/ Chair\, BHC \n###################
