   Israel and Germany, Reconciliation and Memory

   Prof. Roni Stauber, Director of the Goldstein-Goren Diaspora Research Center, Director of the Diploma Program in Archival and Information Science Our guest in this new episode is Prof. Roni Stauber. He is an Israeli historian of moden Jewish history, an associate professor in the Department of Jewish History at Tel Aviv University, a member of the Yad Vashem Scientific Committee, head of the Goldstein-Goren Center for Diaspora Studies, and head of the Certificate Program in Archival and Information Studies. Stauber’s main field is the study of collective memory. He deals with the interplay between politics and diplomacy, and collective memory and historiography with a focus on the formation of Holocaust consciousness in Israel and around the world. In the past decade, his research has focused primarily on relations between Israel and West Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. His book 'The Lesson for a Generation' analyzed the positions that took shape in public thought in Israel in the 1950s regarding the issue of the "Jewish response" to the Holocaust. The book, which won the "Mordechai Ish-Shalom Prize in the History of the Land of Israel" in 2002, discusses the connection between the general worldview of figures and movements who took part in public discourse in Israel in the early years of the state, and their attitude to the ways in which the Jewish public responded during the Holocaust. An English version of the book was published after changes and adjustments under the title: The Holocaust in Israeli Public Debate in the 1950s, Ideology and Memory. One of the central issues discussed in these books is the complex attitude of the political establishment in Israel to the memory of the Holocaust. On the one hand, the state emphasized the connection between the Holocaust and the revival; on the other hand, the power of the traumatic memory, which affected both society and the political establishment, clashed with the ideology of "statehood" and the desire to establish a "normal" society concerned with security, creativity, and construction. The validity of the claim regarding the complex attitude of the Israeli establishment to the memory of the Holocaust Stauber examined in his research on Israeli-German relations in the years 1953–1965. His latest book, Diplomacy in the Shadow of Memory: Israel and West Germany, 1953–1965, was published in 2023 and an English edition is forthcoming. A series of articles by him, discussing various aspects of these relations, were published in Hebrew, English and German journals. His research is based on extensive archival material, some of which has only been uncovered in recent years in archives in Israel, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom.

   Building Cultural Bridges to the Iranian People

   Hanna Jahan Feroz, Alliance Center for Iranian Studies, Tel Aviv University Our guest is the Tel Aviv-born, Iranian-born analyst, researched and musician Hanna Jahan Feroz. She describes herself as “an Iranian cultural researcher, lecturer, and world music singer”. She immigrated to Israel at the age of 12 following the Islamic Revolution. She holds a master's degree in Middle Eastern and Asian studies from Tel Aviv University, is known as the cousin of singer Rita, and frequently appears in the media and on various stages to analyze society, culture, and the status of women in Iran. Her life's mission is to separate the brutal regime from the people and the glorious culture in the Israeli mind. "Iran is a 2,500-year-old cultural treasure. My goal in music and research is to be a bridge," she says. In her latest research, she reveals the painful sides of Iran that the media doesn't show: seven million street children who help support their families by working as prostitutes and selling drugs, and the wrestlers, the folk cultural heroes, who came out against the regime.
