Mo & Moritz: Julya Rabinowich im Gespräch mit Christine Knödler

In the organizer's words:

Two young people who fight for their love and overcome prejudices. Mo comes from a family with Muslim roots. When he starts an apprenticeship as a hairdresser in a posh Viennese salon, he immerses himself in a glamorous world. One evening, he is deployed behind the scenes at the Vienna Opera Ball and falls in love - with Moritz of all people, a boy from a Jewish family. Mo is on cloud nine - and at the same time gets cold feet: what if his family finds out? Will he ever be able to stand by Moritz and his love? In Mo & Moritz (Hanser Verlag, 2026), Julya Rabinowich tells a love story from today, very close to the dreams and hopes of young people.

Julya Rabinowich, born in St. Petersburg, has lived in Vienna since 1977. She is a writer and columnist and worked as an interpreter for many years. Works such as Spaltkopf, Herznovelle, Die Erdfresserin and Dazwischen: Ich have been awarded prizes such as the Rauris Literature Prize and the Friedrich Gerstäcker Prize.

An event of the NS-Dokumentationszentrum München in cooperation with St. Michaelsbund and Carl Hanser Verlag.
