Topographie des Terrors @topographie.de · 26/03/2026
📢 Seit gestern geöffnet: Unsere neue Sonderausstellung Der Holocaust – Was wussten die Deutschen? Sie stellt die Frage ins Zentrum, was im Deutschen Reich zu welcher Zeit über den Völkermord an den europäischen Jüdinnen & Juden und weitere Massenverbrechen bekannt war oder gewusst werden konnte. 🧵
Das Key Visual zur Ausstellung zeigt den Ausschnitt einer historischen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie, teilweise überdeckt von angeschrägten, petrolfarbenen Flächen, darauf der Ausstellungstitel in deutsch & englisch sowie die Laufzeit der Ausstellung in weißer Schrift. Auf dem Foto ist ein Mann in Hut und Anzug zu sehen, der eine Anstecknadel mit Hakenkreuz am Revers trägt, daneben weitere Personen im Anschnitt. 
Das Foto zeigt Bürger bei einer Versteigerung jüdischen Eigentums in der Gegend von Hanau im Jahr 1942. Quelle: Medienzentrum Hanau Bildarchiv, Foto: Franz Weber.

Please spread the word widely -- we're hiring five religion & world affairs interns at Pew Research Center. Interns can work in our DC office or remotely from a few states. Details here: pewtrusts.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Center... 🌐 Many Pew Research careers began with this internship.
Text image says, "Pew Research Center’s Religion department seeks to promote a deeper understanding of issues at the intersection of religion and public affairs. We are looking for five recent grads or current students to join us for a 14-week long paid internship from November 14, 2023 to March 1, 2024 (opportunities may exist to extend to March 8, 2024). Due to the nature of the work, you will need to commit to 37.5 hours per week for the entire period, during regular business hours. Interns will be paid $17/hour. 

You will work as a Coder and research information on government restrictions on religion as well as religious hostilities and violence and assist Pew Research Center in updating a dataset measuring these phenomena around the world. Coders will comb through major international reports such as the U.S. State Department’s annual International Religious Freedom reports and conflict databases. "
