Ewige Sehnsucht eines ewigen Fremdlings. Zur Sehnsuchtsproblematik aus der Perspektive ausgewählter deutsch-jüdischer Autorinnen
Eternal Longing of an Eternal Stranger. On the Problem of Longing from the perspective of selected German-Jewish female authors

Summary/Abstract: Longing is a feeling perhaps more familiar to the Jewish people than to any other nation. In their centuries-long diaspora existence, Jews have repeatedly yearned for a sense of community in the face of alienating reality, for the lost homeland, or even for legitimate naturalisation. This article is an attempt to shed light on the problem of longing in the field of tension between Zionism and German-Jewish symbiosis. Selected texts by Bertha Badt Strauss, Margarete Susman, Else Lasker-Schüler and Grete Weil-Jockisch provide a methodological approach.
