Students and Researchers visit the IGdJ
On 22 July 2025, a group of students from the University of Haifa visited the Institute for the History of the German Jews. Enrolled in the interdisciplinary Master of Arts program “Modern German & European Studies” at the Haifa Center for German and European Studies (HCGES), they study Germany and Europe in history, politics, culture, economics, and law, and acquire knowledge of German as a foreign language. The highlight of the program is a study trip, which this year took the students to Berlin and Hamburg and was led by Dr. Daniel Mahla and Ghaida Zoabi.
In an exchange with Dr. Björn Siegel and Dr. Kim Wünschmann, the group discussed Jewish life in Germany with a special focus on the rich and diverse history of Jewish communities in Hamburg and the northern German region. The seminar session at the IGdJ was followed by an alternative harbour tour.
