Literary Reflection in Troubling Times: Susanne Siegert Reads in Landshut
A reading that becomes a dialogue: Journalist and author Susanne Siegert presents her book Rethinking Remembrance and invites a reflective conversation about memory culture, responsibility, and the present. As part of the International Weeks Against Racism 2026, a literary experience emerges that combines the atmosphere of a reading with societal relevance.
Words that Impact: Voice, Text, and Interstices
Precise language, clear theses, resonating images: Siegert connects personal research with cultural-discursive debates and opens a new perspective on Holocaust remembrance. The reading unfolds as a dense narrative, where linguistic artistry and journalistic accuracy converge.
Memory as Contemporary Art
The book links lesser-known Nazi crimes, neglected places, and marginalized victim groups with questions directed at the descendants of the perpetrator generation. The argumentation is convincing through literary quality and analytical sharpness, far from ritualized remembrance – towards an open, plural culture of remembrance.
From Reading to Author Encounter
After the reading, a discussion follows: audience conversation, critical inquiries, contextualization within the genre of contemporary non-fiction. The intimate atmosphere of the Old Barracks fosters focused listening and respectful exchange.
Voices of the Readers
The reactions of the readers are clear: Susanne Siegert captivates literature enthusiasts with her work. On Instagram, a reader writes: 'I can hardly wait to experience the author encounter in Landshut.' On TikTok, it states: 'Finally, a book that explains memory culture understandably and in a nuanced manner.'
Conclusion: Expect an engaging reading with a clear tone, precise arguments, and space for questions. Those who take the debate on memory culture seriously will experience concentrated expertise here – live, dialogically, horizon-expanding.
