We examine not only the challenges of cultural diversity and difference, but also the encounters between tradition and modernity and the various forms of Judaism. Jewish history in Berlin provides a paradigm for looking at history as a whole from a variety of perspectives – and for imagining the world through the lens of Berlin.
