On November 10, 1988, Philipp Jenninger, President of the German Bundestag (FRG), held a speech in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Reichskristallnacht, or 'night of broken glass', a pogrom which was orchestrated by the National Socialist government against Germany's Jewish citizens. The speech proved to be extremely controversial and provoked heated reactions in Germany and around the world. / The following is an analysis of the discourse generated by the speech in Germany. The goal of my project is to elucidate the discursive structures that subtended the state of the German discours social in order to show the way in which the 'text' of Der Fall Jenninger was formed and informed by it. / The first part of the thesis shall serve as an introduction to the incident of Der Fall Jenninger. Part two will outline the precepts upon which I will be basing my analysis. Part three will consist of my analysis of Der Fall Jenninger.
