At the Leo Baeck Institute London, we are shining a light on the work of our affiliated scholars – from postdoctoral fellows and PhD researchers to board members and other experts. In our new series LBI Scholars in Conversation, these interviews explore German-Jewish history, memory politics and related themes, starting with our recent discussion with Dr Alexander Brown on Holocaust memory and antifascism in the GDR.
These conversations challenge established views and recover marginalised stories, from East German commemoration to Jewish antifascist lives. They show how the LBI fosters research linking past divisions to today’s debates on memory and belonging.
