Black Jews, White Jews? On Skin Color and Prejudice
About the Event
Identities
What skin colors do Jews have – and which are ascribed to them? How do they position themselves? The exhibition Black Jews, White Jews? explores these questions and shows historical and contemporary examples of external and self-perception. It examines the topic of Jewish identity in the charged relationship between self-definition, antisemitism, and racism.
For centuries, racist worldviews have judged people primarily by their skin color. “Race theories,” colonialism, antisemitism, and other fantasies of superiority created a hierarchy of people: an order of the world based on the order of skin color. The focus of the exhibition is on the stereotyping and exclusion that Jews of color experience worldwide – particularly in Europe, the USA, and Israel.

But are Jews white, “non-white,” or black? The various answers and their far-reaching consequences reinforce the topicality and urgency of this exhibition.
