Lecture and reading - 38th Jewish Cultural Days Berlin
For Stefan Zweig, Europe was his spiritual home: a place of exchange, tolerance, and peace. In “The World of Yesterday,” written in exile, he described the destruction of Jewish life through war and fascism—and at the same time, the memory of a lost, humanistic Europe.

Exile and alienation shaped his life, but he held fast to his belief in culture and shared values. Today, in times of new crises and upheavals, his appeals for understanding and humanity seem more urgent than ever.
Dr. Martina Wörgötter talks about Stefan Zweig's tireless commitment to a common European identity, his deeply rooted pacifist and humanist convictions, and his inner conflict between withdrawal and moral responsibility. In addition, the director of the Stefan Zweig Center Salzburg provides insights into ongoing research and explains how the institute is reinterpreting its relevance for today.
