Internationale Konferenz:
“Jewish Immigration from Eastern Europe to Israel and Germany in Light of the War in Ukraine (1991–2025): Narratives, Memory, and Identity Formation” In Kooperation mit der Hebrew University Jerusalem
This two-day interdisciplinary conference, organized by the Leonid Nevzlin Research Center for Russian and East European Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Leibnitz Center for Contemporary History Potsdam and the Center for Israel Studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, aims to juxtapose two pivotal periods of Jewish migration to Israel and Germany—the post-Soviet 1990s and the post-2022 Ukrainian crisis. By bringing together scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the conference seeks to enrich our understanding of the shifting meanings of Jewish belonging, displacement, and diaspora in the 21st century. Through historical, sociological, and cultural analyses, we aim to build a comparative framework for analyzing Jewish migration in the context of political rupture, memory politics, and transnational identity formation.
Im Rahmen der Konferenz findet am 10.12 um 19:00 Uhr eine Lesung und Gespräch mit Katja Petrowskaja zu ihrem Buch Als wäre es vorbei statt.
