Dis-Integration? Perspectives on a German Debate with Max Czollek & Rebecca Guber
Author Max Czolleks essay collection Desintegriert Euch transformed the debate about the integration of minorities in Germany when it appeared in 2018. His perspective on the roles of contemporary Jews in German society and its theater of memory struck a nerve not just among Jews, but other minority groups as well. The threat from the right has created a new kind of solidarity, he recently told the New York Times, speaking about his efforts to forge alliances among various minority groups in Germany. Czollek will help translate this debate for an American audience in conversation with Rebecca Guber, founder and director of Asylum Arts, a global network of Jewish Artists.
