Jewish Identity

This article analyzes the life of Anni Albers through the lens of “Jewishness”:

Anni Albers’ Fabric of Belief at the Tate — Tablet Magazine

This paragraph particularly struck me as fascinating:

Albers’ artistic legacy is entwined with Jewish institutions that commissioned her most monumental works, but she apparently never set foot in a synagogue, neither in Germany nor in the United States.

Your discussion task: What role did Albers’s Jewish identity play in her life? What was her perception of Judaism? What role does religion play in your life?

Expectation: Explain the nuance of religious identity, particularly Jewish identity. Recognize the historic importance of religion and identity with respect to the Holocaust.
