In this seminar, Amanda Rubin-Lewis and Devorah Baum discuss The Third Reich of Dreams, Charlotte Beradt’s recently republished archive of the dreams of Jewish and non-Jewish Berliners living under the Nazi regime.
Out of print in English for over forty years, this remarkable dream archive, which Charlotte risked her life to protect, stands as both testimony and warning—a unique seismograph of history, registering the tremors of totalitarianism through the minds of those who endured it.
Jewish Women's Voices is a collaborative initiative by Kate Kennedy, Director of the ‘Oxford Centre for Life-Writing’, and Vera Fine-Grodzinski, a scholar of Jewish social and cultural history.
The Programme is the first of its kind at any UK academic institution. Launched in October 2023, the Programme celebrates the life-writing of Jewish women often underrepresented in mainstream history accounts. The Programme is a three-term seminar series dedicated to exploring the diverse experiences of Jewish women across centuries, countries, and cultures.
