As we draw close to a time when there will be no more firsthand experience of the horrors of the Holocaust, there is great concern about what will happen when German responsibility turns into history. Will the present taboo against open antisemitism be lifted as collective memory fades? There are alarming signs of the rise of the far right, which includes blatantly antisemitic elements, already visible in public discourse. But it is mainly the radicalization of the otherwise moderate Muslim population of Germany and the entry of almost a million refugees since 2015 from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan that appears to make German society less tolerant and somewhat less inhibited about articulating xenophobic attitudes. The evidence is unmistakable-overt antisemitism is dramatically increasing once more.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Future of the German-Jewish Past \u003c\/i\u003edeals with the formidable challenges created by these developments. It is conceptualized to offer a variety of perspectives and views on the question of the future of the German-Jewish past. The volume addresses topics such as antisemitism, Holocaust memory, historiography, and political issues relating to the future relationship between Jews, Israel, and Germany. While the central focus of this volume is Germany, the implications go beyond the German-Jewish experience and relate to some of the broader challenges facing modern societies today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Future of the German-Jewish Past Starts Here, by Gideon Reuveni\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE PERSONAL, THE HISTORICAL, AND THE MAKING OF GERMAN-JEWISH MEMORY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"No More Mr. Nice Guy\": Questioning the Ideal of Assimilation, by Alan Posener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneration in Flux: Diasporic Reflections on the Future of German-Jewishness, by Sheer Ganor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome on the Balcony: New Initiatives for the Preservation of Documents and Material Objects Relating to German-Jewish History, by Joachim Schlör\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Object to Subject: Representing Jews and Jewishness at the Jewish Museum Berlin, by Michal Friedlander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePast Imperfect, Future Tense: A Mother's Letter about Loss, Storytelling, and the Profound Ambivalence of the German-Jewish Legacy, by Nicola Glucksmann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLOOKING BACK TO FUTURE VISIONS OF THE GERMAN-JEWISH PAST\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ever-Dying Jewry?
