Description

The "Yiddish Culture Festival Vienna" brings Jewish culture closer to the Viennese public and thus makes an important contribution to fostering understanding between peoples, cultures and religions. On 2 Decemer 2017 at the Radio Kulturhaus Erwin Steinhauer will read texts by Austrian authors who were forced into exile or murdered by the Nazi regime. This event is intended to explicitly remind us of the inestimable importance of Jewish culture in Vienna and Austria before the war. The reading will be accompanied by the Ensemble Varnitschkes from Lemberg.
