Die deutschen Juden in der Geschichte der Shoah: Keine Exklave!

Published in German and English on opposite pages, this is the speech given by Moshe Zimmermann when he was awarded the Leopold Lucas Prize 2002 for his contribution to the research into the history and the culture of German Jews. In the speech given upon the presentation of the award, he called upon historians to give an impartial portrayal of the extraordinary history of the success achieved by German Jews or else the real Shoah would be followed by a Shoah of remembrance. In this, he sees the parallels to the problem of a peaceful coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians, each of them in their own state.
