„Wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen“

Many young Jews have courageously spoken out again and again in the past. They have fought for what they believe is right and what they believe in. They have struggled for their vision of a just society. Today, at least 25,000 of them between the ages of 18 and 35 live in Germany. Their commitment in the most diverse areas of our society is anything but self-evident in view of the virulent threat of anti-Semitism. But who are these young people who speak out? What drives them? How does their political engagement relate to their Jewish identity? Monty Ott and Ruben Gerczikow put together a kaleidoscope of Jewish identities that contradicts the memory culture's definition of Jews as passive victims. They let young and Jewish people have their say, offer them a forum in which they report on their diverse political engagement and their struggles. Their reports tell of how a young generation of Jews has developed a strong self-confidence with which they want to change this society. With Arkadij Khaet, Benjamin Strasser, Dalia Grinfeld, Dan Diner, Felix Tamsut, Hermann Gröhe, Irene Mihalic, Karamba Diaby, Martina Renner, Laura Cazé, among others.s With introductory remarks by Remko Leemhuis, Director of the American Jewish Committee Berlin Lawrence & Lee Ramer Institute for German-Jewish Relations, and Felix Klein, Federal Government Commissioner for Jewish Life and the Fight against Anti-Semitism.
