Listen Later

Welcome to the Divinity Divulged podcast! The first podcast

series from the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge. In each episode we’ll be taking a look at one of the many fascinating research projects happening within the Faculty through conversations with the researcher and an
expert guest working in their field. Our discussions are aimed at all of those studying or exploring religious studies across all levels, and you can find details on how this episode relates to A Level and Scottish Highers Specifications below.

 

In this episode we are joined by Professor Esra Özyürek, Sultan Qaboos Professor of Abrahamic Faiths and Shared Values here in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge, to discuss Esra’s recent book ‘Subcontractors of Guilt:

Holocaust Memory and Muslim Belonging in Postwar Germany’. Alongside us is Dr Daniel Weiss, Polonsky-Coexist Senior Lecturer in Jewish Studies, also in the
Faculty of Divinity.

 

Examining holocaust memory, state/religion interactions and

social integration in contemporary Germany, Esra describes to us rejections of social norms, the notion of ‘right/wrong emotions’, perceptions of responsibility and guilt and ‘civil religious pilgrimages’.

 

We dearly hope you enjoy!
