An evening about memory, responsibility, and the continued existence of Jewish culture in Franconia
With Prof. Dippold, a topic is brought to the forefront in Bayreuth that is historically precise and emotionally touching at the same time: the destruction of Jewish life by the Nazi state, the Shoah, and the resurrection of Jewish communities after 1945. The lecture event at RW21 Adult Education Center, Seminar Room 3, promises an intense reading atmosphere of historical thinking and an author encounter with a high level of linguistic and professional density.

Historical depth instead of mere retrospection
The lecture is part of a series on Jewish heritage in Franconia and places regional history within a larger cultural and societal context. Dippold connects regional research with cultural-historical precision and makes visible how closely intertwined memory culture, local identity, and historical responsibility are.
