A main focus of the conference will be remembering the legacy of Jewish women in Breslau/Wroclaw. A tour around the city will lead the participants to places where they lived and worked. The Jewish cemetery will be visited as well.

 

A range of talks will address the lives of Jewish women from Breslau/Wroclaw, for example women’s rights activist Paula Ollendorf (1860-1938), dancer Judith Berg (1912-1992), artist Clara Sachs (1862-1921) and philosopher Edith Stein (1891-1942), to name but a few.

 

Other topics that will be explored include Jewish women in Europe – past and present, Jewish tradition from a feminist perspective, Jewish education, sports, art and literature, capacity building and many more.
