Standard Time - Unmasking hate
Antisemitic sentiments are rising in Europe again. Since this show is an Austrian-Hungarian co-production, we definitely have a lot of baggage to account for. But what is antisemitism today? Already choosing a definition can be a political question. Does that mean that one mustn’t criticize Israel's government either? And how does one start to get informed on the topic? Let us try and open the door to this conversation, with a fantastic set of speakers: Professor Helga Embacher historian with a focus on National Socialism (University of Salzburg) Lidia Zessin-Jurek is an Assistant Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies (Stockton University) Johann Kneihs Journalist and curator of two prospective music festivals in Austria, Glatt&Verkehrt and Jewish Weekends.
