Symposium at the Jewish Museum Berlin and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation
Kibbutz: From Utopia to the Future
Accompanying the Exhibition "Kibbutz and Bauhaus - Pioneers of the Collective" at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation
A century after the founding of the first Kibbutz in Palestine/Israel, a new longing for solidary communities is emerging in the face of current crises. While the Kibbutz has survived as a form of collective living for a small avant-garde, in an international context it appears to be more alive than ever before. With this backdrop, the symposium takes a critical look at the Kibbutz from its utopian founding history to the present day and considers various life stories connected with the Kibbutz model.
A cooperation of the Jewish Museum Berlin and the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation.

Cultural Program
Hilde Schramm: My Teacher, Dr. Dora Lux
Book Presentation with the Author
"Dr. Dora Lux … was my history teacher in Heidelberg from 1953 … to 1955… Albert Speer is my father. My origins forced me into an early and continuing confrontation with Nazism. In finding myself, however, the influence of people who embodied a counter-world to Nazi ideology was vital … I owe such an experience to my teacher."
Hilde Schramm researched the life of Dora Lux over many years. Her teacher was one of the first female students to complete the "Abitur" (the highest German school certificate), helped pave women’s way to university, and became one of the first of the few female city councilors. In the Third Reich, she broke the law by not registering as a Jew - and survived.
In cooperation with the Literaturhandlung.
When: Tuesday 17 April 2012, 7.30 pm
Where: Old Building, second level, Great Hall
Admission: 9 €, reduced rate 7 euros
Bookings (for non-journalists) at the Literaturhandlung on tel. +49 (0)30 8824 250
Henryk M. Broder: "Vergesst Auschwitz!" (Forget Auschwitz!)
Book Presentation with the Author
In his provocative essay, Henryk M. Broder exposes the bearing of ongoing commemoration shown by German politicians and public persons as "commemorative mania." He sees it as the politically correct guise of a new, "secondary" anti-Semitism skillfully camouflaged as anti-Zionism. It should bring relief. Israel is a "daily reminder" of Nazi crimes in Europe. The Germans will never forgive the Jews for that. For this to change, Broder urges us to finally lay the cursed memories to rest.
A cooperation with the Literaturhandlung.

Admission: 9 €, reduced rate 7 euros
