Lecture and Roundtable

Esther Dischereit – German Jewish poet, artist, essayist, political commentator, and teacher – gave a lecture, "Voices of Survivors," at UVA. The lecture was followed by a roundtable discussion later in the day, which included Jewish Studies Program faculty members Jeffrey Grossman, Jennifer Geddes, Asher Biemann, and Manuela Achilles. The roundtable, with Dischereit participating, discussed the German Department's 1700 Years of Jewish Life in German Speaking Lands exhibit. 

Hosted by UVA's German Department, the Center for German Studies, and the Jewish Studies Program – with support from the German embassy – both the lecture and roundtable were open to the public.
