News23.01.2024
January 27 marks the Memorial Day for the Victims of National Socialism in Germany and the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust, which commemorates the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp, by the Red Army on 27 January 1945.
Given current events, it is more important than ever to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and to remain vigilant to the threat of antisemitism and racism. On the topic of how to approach this task, Suhrkamp has recently published a text by Theodor W. Adorno called On Combatting Antisemitism Today. Published with an afterword by Jan Philipp Reemtsma, it features a lecture given by Adorno in 1962 on the nature of postwar antisemitism in Germany and what needs to be done to combat it.
