Expert talk with Professor Uzi Rebhun
Wednesday 4 October from 1pm to 2pm
While some Jews around the world associate Germany with the most tragic chapter in Jewish history, the nation has recently seen swathes of Israeli Jewish migrants arriving on its shores. Who are the community of Israelis who now call Germany home? Why did they select Germany? And what have their experiences been like integrating into this new culture?
Join us in person as Professor Uzi Rubzhen explores the delicate interplay between the emigration of Jews from Israel to Germany, and their construction of a new identity in the shadow of antisemitism – both past and present – in their new home.
