Zusammenfassung:Jews. Money. These two words carry tremendous power when placed together, drawing on 2,000 years of complex and, at times, troubled history. Associations between Jews and money underlie some of the most deeply rooted antisemitic ideas in circulation, still very much alive today. Through essays and contributions from leading scholars and artists, this publication develops some of the exhibition's key themes. It examines the role of money in Jewish life and the place of Jews - real and imagined - in commerce, capitalism and finance up to the present day. Jews. Money. What’s fact? What’s fiction? Jews, Money, Myth is a major exhibition exploring the role of money in Jewish life. Discover the ideas, myths and stereotypes that link Jews and money over the course of 2000 years. Artwork includes Rembrandt’s first masterpiece Judas Returning the Thirty Pieces of Silver and new commissions by Jeremy Deller and Doug Fishbone. This exhibition draws together art, film, literature and cultural ephemera from board games and cartoons to costumes and figurines. Follow the real and imagined stories of Jews – in finance, commerce and capitalism – up to the present day.
