After Hamas’s attack on Israel and the subsequent military response, people in Germany and many other countries express deep concern on the situation in Israel and Gaza. It seems necessary to better understand the current escalation of violence and relate it to the uprise of antisemitism around the globe. University of Konstanz invites you to attend an online lecture series with experts informing about historical background of the war, the current political situation in Israel and their effects on uprising Israel-related antisemitism. The series builds on the long-lasting partnership between Tel Aviv University (TAU) and University of Konstanz. We gratefully acknowledge the support by “Förderkreis für Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Universitäten Konstanz und Tel Aviv e.V. (FKT)“ and the city of Konstanz.

Further Details on the content of the lectures on the Website.

 

These lectures are held in English.
