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 can once again be seen openly 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 actually have to do with me, 80 years after the war?
Svetlana Fourer addresses these important questions with the Junges Theater Köln and a group of young students.

Solidarity pricing model - pay what you can and want. We want to give people who don't have a lot of money at their disposal access to the theater. That's why there are three admission prices (plus booking fee):
The cheap one - €7.00
The good middle - 14,00€
The generous - 20,00€
There may be a few remaining tickets at the Box Office (cash only, no admission guarantee if sold out).
We are dependent on donations to fully finance the project. Donate here via the savings bank campaign Hier mit Herz: https://www.hiermitherz.de/project/nie-wieder-ist-jetzt-gemeinsam-gegen-antisemitismus/
