In the organizer's words:

Literary Weeks 2025 - Judith Kuckarts reads: The world between the news

"Judith Kuckart's very vivid and dramaturgically designed text also gives readers impulses for their own remembrance." Lilo Ingenlath-Gecic, Westdeutsche Zeitung

I was born on June 17, the day of German reunification, and grew up in a pink house next to a washing machine factory. I remained the only child. On June 2, 1967, I sat in front of the news in my children's ballet leotard. Benno Ohnesorg had been shot. In 1977, when Baader, Ensslin and Raspe were still alive in Stammheim, my grandmother, an assembly line worker in a factory for plastic baby bathtubs, gave me 1,000 DM for my A-levels: Do something with it, she said, and put a jar of artificial honey in the savings account.1989 was the last time I was on stage as a dancer. An important and shy publisher was sitting in the audience and said: You could also write a novel, Judith. On June 17, 2024, the title for my new novel will be finalized. But I know I still have twenty great summers ahead of me from now on - right?"
