Soll sein Schulem - taz Talk

In the organizer's words:

The German-British and Jewish author Daniel Zylbersztajn-Lewandowskihas published the story of his Jewish-Christian and Jewish-Polish family in two volumes.

The first volume is a story about the fate of his ancestors before and during the Holocaust. In the second volume, he describes many of his own experiences as a descendant of Holocaust survivors in Europe. Despite the great challenges of today, he calls for the attempt to maintain peace and reconciliation: "Soll sein Schulem" - May there be peace, he calls it.

Daniel Zylbersztajn-Lewandowski was born in Munich in 1969, where he lived until the age of 16. After graduating from high school in Israel, he moved to London in 1991 to study, where he still lives today with his wife, a Creole Sierra Leonean whose own family is connected to enslavement and liberation in the Americas.

For around five years, Zylbersztajn-Lewandowski also worked for the Israeli Jewish and Palestinian peace village Wahat-al Salam - Neve Shalom. A year before October 7, 2023, Daniel was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack in front of his synagogue at the time; years earlier, it was his wife who was beaten by racists in London.
