Lena Gorelik, Paula Villa Braslavsky und Mirjam Zadoff: „Trotzdem Sprechen“

In the organizer's words:

Moderation: Jan-Christoph Kitzler, BR

Since October 7, 2023 at the latest, people in all parts of German society have felt trapped in a new isolation or even fear. Long-held alliances are being dissolved, conversations are drying up. Anti-Semitism and racism are once again becoming a real experience. The authors gathered here hold on to the exchange, as difficult as it may be. Thoughtfully, with undisguised pain and an unbroken will to weigh things up against each other, we want to enter into conversation on this evening - despite everything.

Lena Gorelik is a writer and essayist. Her novel "Hochzeit in Jerusalem" (2007) was nominated for the German Book Prize. In 2023 she received the Marieluise Fleißer Prize, the Thomas Bernhard Scholarship and in 2024 the Heinrich Mann Prize of the Academy of Arts.

Paula-Irene Villa Braslavsky is Professor of General Sociology and Gender Studies at LMU Munich. She has been Chair of the German Sociological Association since 2021. As a Jewish professor, she is active in ELES, e.g. on the advisory board and as a liaison lecturer.

Mirjam Zadoff has headed the Munich NS Documentation Center since 2018. Her most recent publication is "Gewalt und Gedächtnis. Global Memories in the 21st Century" published by Hanser Verlag (2023).
