ABSTRACT: For hundreds of years Jewish culture developed in
Central Europe closed off from the non-Jewish surroundings. This
situation changed somewhat in Germany in the 18th, and in Eastern
Europe in the 19th century with the beginning of the Enlightenment,
which made possible the first interrelationships between the cultures
of the area and the Jewish minority. In Germany this process led
to the assimilation or acculturation of Jews. Eastern Jews also
learned German and studied German Culture. In addition the neighboring
Slavic cultures also influenced the Jewish population. Furthermore
this process was reciprocal - we find manifold Jewish influences
in the Christian cultures. Linguistic influences were also reciprocal.
They exist in Jiddish as well as in German and in the Slavic languages.
This section will examine these reciprocal influences in literature,
language, music, the plastic arts, etc. as well as the role of
Jews as mediators of culture between Germans and Slavs.
