LIAS Reading: Israel, Palestine, Germany – a triangle of responsibility

Tuesday, 28th January, 7:30 pm

28. Jan

LIAS Public Fellow Charlotte Wiedemann, born in 1954, talks about historical responsibility in the face of the hardened Middle East conflict and the Jewish-Palestinian peace models currently under discussion. Which ones are worthy of support? What does the term Palestine mean today? The long-standing foreign correspondent will talk about her experiences on the ground in Israel and the occupied West Bank and read passages from her book “Den Schmerz der Anderen begreifen. Holocaust und Weltgedächtnis” (‘Understanding the Pain of Others. Holocaust and World Memory’). There will be plenty of room for a discussion with the audience.

Moderator: Benet Lehmann

Lehmann is currently doing a doctorate on photographs from the Second World War and their significance for the culture of remembrance today.
