As part of the Jewish Week Leipzig

Join us for a discussion on the unique history of the Jewish community in Germany and the critical role transatlantic relations have played in shaping its development. This event will explore the historical complexities, cultural resilience, and contemporary challenges facing Jewish communities in the wider transatlantic context in Germany today.

We will also explore how transatlantic partnerships have supported Jewish life in Germany, from historical reconstruction and reparations to promoting cross-cultural understanding, advocacy, and combating antisemitism. What can be learned from the transatlantic experience and how can it contribute to a vibrant Jewish future in Europe?
