GROUP FELLOWSHIP: 2ND WIEPERSDORF FORUM ON ANTISEMITISM IN LITERARY EXHIBITIONS
The 2nd Wiepersdorf Forum on Anti-Semitism in Literary Exhibitions took place on July 2-4, 2025, following the successful kick-off in 2024. It was organized by Dr. Nike Thurn from the German Historical Museum in Berlin, Stella Leder from the Institut für Neue Soziale Plastik 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 is the observation that an intensive examination of literary anti-Semitism in German literary archives, literary exhibitions and literary museums has not happened yet, while ethnological, historical and art-historical museums are increasingly taking a critical look at their collections.
