Providing a wide range of different formats, the events of the Institute for the History of German Jews are aimed at both professional audiences and the interested public at large.
Lectures
Papers and research findings on Jewish history and culture are presented and discussed in lectures organized by the IGdJ.
Lecture series
During each academic semester, the IGdJ usually hosts a multi-part lecture series on a specific topic.
Panel discussions
Experts on Jewish history and culture engage each other in panel discussions on research trends and current issues.
Workshop
Intensive exchange, often lasting several days and having the character of a workshop, on topics and trends in research and outreach comprises the heart of the workshops organized by the IGdJ.
Conference
Academic conferences organized or co-organized by the IGdJ bring together researchers from different levels of qualification and disciplines for international exchange.
Jewish Film Club
Together with the Metropolis Kino, a local movie theater, the IGdJ organizes the “Jewish Film Club,” which aims at both Jewish and non-Jewish Hamburg audiences. We regularly present international motion pictures exploring the diversity of Jewish life, with each event featuring a brief scholarly introduction before and discussion after the film.
