The German Lost Art Foundation hosts talks with descendants of Jewish art collectors
This summer, the German Lost Art Foundation is organising a three-part series of talks with descendants of Jewish art collectors. In this way, the Foundation is continuing a format that it started in connection with the anniversary year #2021JLID – Jüdisches Leben in Deutschland (“#2021JLID – Jewish Life in Germany”) in 2021.
Jewish patrons and collectors played an important role in German cultural life from the 19th century onwards. When the National Socialists came to power, Jewish citizens were persecuted and disenfranchised, their property confiscated and looted. To this day, many once important art collections have been scattered to the four winds, the collectors often forgotten. The German Lost Art Foundation supports projects that engage with descendants who reconstruct their lost heritage, thereby reviving an important piece of the history of cultural assets. In three interviews, Alfred Fass, Rafael Cardoso and Johannes Nathan talk about the search for their families’ lost collections and the reconstruction of memories.
The events on 11 and 25 July will be held as video conferences via Webex. Participation is free of charge, but guests are required to sign up by the previous day. Access data will be sent out a few days beforehand. You will receive separate invitations for each of the dates. Please let us know which discussion you would like to attend.
