Podiumsdiskussion „Geschichte ist Gegenwart. Wie antisemitische Narrative unsere Gesellschaft bis heute prägen"
In our words:
Forever relevant & important: If you want to understand how anti-Semitic narratives from the past still influence our society, then you've come to the right place.
In the organizer's words:
On October 1, 2024, exactly 600 years to the day after the expulsion of the Jewish population from Cologne, MiQua invites you to a panel discussion entitled "History is present. How anti-Semitic narratives still shape our society today." at 7 pm in the Stiftersaal of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum.
On October 1, 1424, the Jewish population of Cologne was forced to leave the city "forever". The city council justified its decision by citing, among other things, well poisoning, the occurrence of mysterious diseases and, in particular, usurious money lending - anti-Jewish language that we still encounter today. The panel discussion takes the 600th anniversary of the expulsion as an opportunity to link the historical event with current social debates. What does a look at history show us? Where are the roots of anti-Jewish codes and linguistic images? And how do they continue to have an impact today?
After an introductory keynote speech on the historical classification of the expulsion of Cologne's Jews by Dr. Christiane Twiehaus, Head of the Department of Jewish History and Culture at MiQua, moderator Anke Bruns welcomes everyone to the podium for a joint discussion:
- Dr. Sebastian Voigt (Institut für Zeitgeschichte München), author of the recently published book "Der Judenhass: Eine Geschichte ohne Ende?",
- the activist and journalist Hanna Esther Veiler (President of the Jewish Student Union of Germany), winner of the EBD's Woman of Europe 2024 award,
- and Ronja Schonscheck (Scientific Advisor WerteInitiative - jüdisch-deutsche Positionen e. V.), co-responsible for the online platform "OY VEY - Plattform gegen Verschwörungsmythen".
Following the discussion, there will be an opportunity for a discussion in the foyer of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum.
The panel discussion will take place in the Stiftersaal of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud, Obenmarspforten 40, 50667 Cologne.
Free admission. Registration is required at: miqua@lvr.de.
