Déjà-vu? A New Search for Old Answers

Digital Lecture Series

The digital lecture series examines Jewish intellectuals of the nineteenth and early twentieth century and asks what long-overlooked answers their work might offer to the current challenges of Jewish life in Germany.

We invite five intellectuals from the social sciences and literature to answer the question: Which historic texts do they return to for answers to pressing present-day questions? And how do they read these texts?

Where

online

The lectures are held via Microsoft Teams. Microsoft Teams offers the possibility of live subtitling or translation into different languages, information on this will follow in the event.

The lectures will be recorded and hosted on our website later on.

Digital Lecture Series: Netiquette

Time and again, opinions are radicalized and conflicts are fueled in virtual spaces. The anonymity of communication makes it easy to forget that verbal or written attacks can be hurtful to those affected. The Jewish Museum Berlin strives to be a discrimination-free space.
