Nie wieder - ist jetzt!

In the organizer's words:

Anti-Semitism is back and has never been gone since the Nazi era.

On campus, on social media, on the street - since October 7, 2023, anti-Semitic codes have once again been openly visible everywhere. A group of young students from Cologne and NRW - Jewish and non-Jewish - also feel at the mercy of its omnipresence. They decide to confront questions that touch the core of their identity and sometimes really hurt: Where and when did I first experience anti-Semitism? How did I react? How did my own family experience National Socialism and the World War and was it talked about in our home? Did I ask enough questions? What do I say to my fellow students? And: Can we still manage to prevent old patterns of hatred from being unleashed again in Europe?

What does all this have to do with me, 80 years after the war?
