The Berlin Journal features a stimulating range of original articles, opinion pieces, fiction, and poetry within its pages, offering a taste of the Academy's vibrant intellectual life and the varied pursuits of its Fellows and Distinguished Visitors.

In the Journal's pages you will find US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer lamenting the Dred Scott decision of 1857, Frances Fitzgerald on America's Christian Right, Diane McWhorter on Werner von Braun, and Daniel Mendelsohn on the search for a lost uncle, in addition to intelligent policy analysis by eminent figures such as Josef Joffe, Richard Holbrooke, Stephen Biddle, and Dennis Ross, among others. Recent contributors also include Harvey Mansfield on the Greek notion of thumos, Mary Sarotte on the tense evening hours of November 9, 1989, Leora Auslander on the historian's craft, and the visual work of Olafur Eliasson, Collier Schorr, Mitch Epstein, Anselm Kiefer, Matthias Hoch, and Walton Ford, among many others.

The center section of each issue of The Berlin Journal keeps readers abreast of the Hans Arnhold Center’s happenings, including profiles of current fellows, news from the Board of Trustees, select press mentions, and recent alumni publications.

All back issues of the Berlin Journal are available as PDF files below, and the Fall 2009 issue will be available for download on November 10.
