| Abstract | The basis for this lecture is a new edition of letters from the papers of Friedrich Meinecke, the founder of the history of ideas in Germany. The selected letters illuminate Meinecke's relationship with those of his students who were forced to emigrate after 1933 and show these students' close bond with their teacher, to whom they reported about their lives in the United States and about their scholarly plans, and whom they helped after the war by supplying CARE packages and medicines unavailable in Germany. . . . The letters allow us to explore many questions, including the question of German-Jewish identity. The letters throw light on emigration and remigration, on restitution, and on the lives and scholarly development of Meinecke's students. . . . I have selected Hajo Holborn [1902-1969], Dietrich Gerhard [1896-1985], and Hans Rosenberg [1904-1988] for discussion here because in my opinion they best illustrate the challenge of grappling with life in two worlds. |
