"Ist es Freude, ist es Schmerz?" invites you to a reading adventure through more than 1,200 poems and biographies of over 300 German writers with Jewish roots. The editor Herbert Schmidt is known for his numerous publications on Nazi justice and Nazi racial policy. He has not only literary aesthetics in mind, but also a culturo-political intention with this anthology - to preserve the humanist heritage created by German-speaking Jews.
Iris Berben will read.
