Zuflucht am Mittelmeer.

In the organizer's words:

Scenic reading with students from Leipzig University on the forced migration of German-Jewish scholars from Nazi Germany

From Breslau to Jerusalem, from Berlin to Cairo, from Leipzig to Ankara: in the 1930s, Jewish scholars fled Nazi persecution to the Mediterranean. The staged reading is dedicated to the paths, challenges and fates of the Jewish academics threatened in Germany and their reception in exile based on four biographies.

The reading was developed by students at Leipzig University as part of a project seminar led by Sebastian Willert at the Dubnow Institute. The documents compiled from various archives show the conditions under which solidarity and support for threatened academics was formed. Aid organizations were the central actors in choosing whom to support when fleeing into exile. The reading conveys individual perspectives on the forced migration from Nazi Germany to the Mediterranean and outlines the realities that refugees were confronted with on the ground.

As part of the Jewish Week.
