In 2021, Jewish life in Germany can look back on a 1,700-year history. To mark this anniversary, DW will be broadcasting a series of special programs on the subject on 19 September. These include the talk show Third Generation: Homeland Germany?: Today, Germany is home to many young Jewish creatives who were not born here, but in the former Soviet Union, the US or Israel.

The novelist Deborah Feldman, the author and musician Dmitrij Kapitelman, the soprano Shai Terry and the museum director Hetty Berg meet at Berlin’s Jewish Museum to discuss these questions. From 11 September, you can see Photo: WDR / Leonardo Film a shorter version of the debate on Kultur.21.
