Medieval Jewish communities in what is now Germany flourished in the 12th and 13th centuries, settling in towns and villages that grew as part of medieval urban expansion. By the late 13th and into the 14th century, however, rising animosity led to persecution, pogroms, and expulsions. Despite these hardships, survivors and exiles from other regions continually sought to resettle — sometimes in new places, but often in former Jewish communities. While this history is typically framed through persecution, Jews not only endured these crises but also developed their own strategies to navigate them. This talk explores these coping mechanisms, with a focus on family life, gender roles, and cultural creativity.
