World Literature Encounters Osnabrück: Jewish Perspectives from Yesteryears and Today
The Jewish Cultural Festival in Osnabrück is set to return from September 4th to 7th, promising an enriching and inspiring four-day event for literature enthusiasts of all ages.

Events dedicated to Anne Frank, who died 80 years ago in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, will take place throughout the festival. These include a picture book cinema for young readers featuring texts by Mascha Kaleko and workshops about Anne Frank and Peter van Pels.
