Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929), philosopher and theologian, was an important personality in post-World War I German-Jewish intellectual life. He established the Freie Juedische Lehrhaus where he taught Jewish tradition and culture as part of real life experience to bring them closer to assimilated German Jewry. He wrote several philosophical works and translated the Hebrew Bible with Martin Buber. This collection contains manuscripts of many of Franz Rosenzweigs smaller works, personal items, correspondence with his parents and with more than fifty friends and colleagues, as well as other correspondence and many newspaper clippings, photographs, and some objects
