A Research and Exposition
Project
The Eisendrath case is a well suited example for a study on details
of the Jewish migration from Germany to Northern Europe. We plan
to continue our research and are looking for partners from universities
etc.; may be You can help us bringing together such scholars, institutions
or to fund these studies?
The idea is a conception of a bilingual exposition that exemplifies
this particular bridge across the Atlantic with facets of the family
history. For this there exists a large variety of photos and documents,
a starting point could be the impressive family tree with more than
500 family members which can also be a device for a multimedial
exploration.
The exposition should be shown in various places,
accompanied by a publication, lectures or other events about the
state of research and a family meeting of the Eisendrath family
in Dorsten.
In addition there should be a research project
on Jewish emigration to the USA in general in the 19th cent and
on economic developments in North America.
Those are the basic topics the project might be concerned with:
- starting point in Dorsten
- Emigration to the USA and Western Europe
- Immigration to the USA
- A professional knowledge transfer?
- An extraordinary family network
A Family Reunion in Dorsten?
We would appreciate a family reunion of Eisendraths from all over the world in Dorsten and have prepared a proposition for such a visit – combined with a touristy tour in the Ruhr region – for the year 2010. Learn more about the details:
