GROUP FELLOWSHIP: CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP ON ANTISEMITISM IN LITERARY EXHIBITIONS
On September 18-19, the 3rd Forum on Antisemitism in Literary Exhibitions took place at Schloss Wiepersdorf, for the third time following the successful launch in 2024. It was organized by Dr. Nike Thurn from the German Historical Museum in Berlin, Stella Leder from the Institute for New Social Sculpture and Prof. Dr. Marcel Lepper, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Cultural Foundation Schloss Wiepersdorf, together with the Cultural Foundation. The starting point was the analysis that an intensive examination of literary antisemitism in German literary archives, literary exhibitions and literary museums hasn't happened yet.
