About event
Book presentation and discussion with author Doris Hermanns
Numerous famous and lesser-known, mostly Jewish, women writers found refuge in Great Britain from 1933 onwards. What living and working conditions characterized existence in exile? What role do origins and language play in one's life and identity as a writer?
And: Why do we know so little about them today?
These are just some of the questions that Doris Hermann's "'And everything is foreign here.' German-speaking writers in British exile" explores. You are cordially invited to a reading and conversation with the author!
Event in cooperation with Bajszel, Masiyot e. V. and the FrauenLesbenBuchhandlung Berlin.
Admission is free. The event room is barrier-free, the toilets are not.
