Spurensuche I: 120 Jahre Villa Seligmann

In the organizer's words:

In our SPURENSUCHE series, we take you on a tour of the magnificent Villa Seligmann in the heart of Hanover. Since its reopening in 2012, Villa Seligmann has become a beacon of Jewish music and culture. It offers an international forum for people to come together, regardless of their origin, religion or cultural background. Renowned experts give lectures on various topics and allow you to take a look into the past and behind the scenes. The historical building and, of course, the history of the Seligmann family will take center stage.

To kick off this year's series of events, the director of Villa Seligmann, Eliah Sakakushev-von Bismarck, will give a guided tour of the house to mark the 120th anniversary of the Seligmann family moving in.
