Online film screening "The Mist: Spectral Sounds of Romeyka"

Der 100. Jahrestag des Endes des Ersten Weltkriegs 1918 hat die Erinnerung daran wieder in die Öffentlichkeit gebracht.

Over the course of three days, from November 22 to 24, the virtual GEOP Interdisciplinary Research Workshop "Hidden in Plain Sight: Yiddish in the Socialist Bloc and its Transnationality, 1941/44–91” examines the role of Yiddish in the cultures of Socialist states in Eastern and East-Central Europe in their trans-socialist and transnational entanglements in the second half of the 20th century.

The workshop opens and closes with two online events that are open to the general public.
