A Literary Approach to Jewish Life Stories during the Nazi Era
This training at the Jewish Museum Franconia in Fürth offers teachers a precise, sensitive, and pedagogically sustainable approach to Netta Goldsmith's novel Magda and the Rat Catchers. The event combines literature, history lessons, and political education into a demanding training format with clear relevance for classroom practice.
Literature as Historical Engagement
The novel, based on the biography of Goldsmith's Jewish husband Ernst, makes Jewish life in Nuremberg during the Nazi era not abstract but narratively tangible. It is precisely this connection of fiction and historical reality that creates a unique reading atmosphere, in which literary quality and cultural memory responsibility are considered together.
Didactics with Depth
The training is primarily aimed at teachers of English, History, and Political Science. Not only will the novel be presented, but also accompanying didactic materials for the classroom. This creates a practical tool for project work, source analysis, and a reflective engagement with Jewish life stories during the Nazi era.
The Museum as a Learning Place
The Jewish Museum Franconia offers an additional perspective through its exhibition tour: Participants will learn about educational offerings for schools and experience the place itself as a culturally and historically charged space. The new building is barrier-free, while the old building has limited accessibility; for arrival, the U-Bahn line U1 to Fürth Rathaus is suitable, and parking is available in the City Center underground garage on Königstraße.
Process and Framework
The training begins on June 9, 2026, at 2 PM and ends at 5 PM. After a presentation of the novel, there will be a coffee break, a presentation of the museum's educational offerings, and a thematic tour with a focus on Nuremberg and Fürth during the Nazi era. Admission is free, and registration via the Bavarian training portal is required.
Conclusion: Those who understand literary education not as mere reading but as a historically responsible encounter will find a high-quality training appointment here. This event promises insights, teaching materials, and a lively access to the Jewish history of Franconia. Anyone wishing to effectively connect literature and memory culture in the school context should experience this date live.
