The “little magazine” was a staple of modernist Jewish culture that flourished in the Weimar Republic. A distinctively portable and collaborative genre, and an appropriate venue for the migrant, cosmopolitan mix of Berlin’s interwar Jewish population, these magazines blended poetry, manifestos, and visual arts to create a unique form of cultural expression. In this talk, Barbara Mann discusses the publishing history of Yiddish and Hebrew little magazines, their content, physical features, and readership.
