Jewish life then and now: the school family at the Anne Frank High School organized a multifaceted themed evening.

Erding

– The school community of the Anne Frank High School organized a varied, stirring, humorous and thought-provoking event on the subject of “1700 years of Jewish life in Germany”.

Due to the pandemic, the school only devoted itself to this historic anniversary celebration this year.

What about your own prejudices and attributions?

What do we actually know about Jewish culture and history, not least in our immediate vicinity?

Every guest was able to ask themselves these and other questions on this eventful evening and also received answers.

Pupils in the ninth and tenth grades had put together an exhibition worth seeing under the title "Jewish Life in Erding".

The Anne Frank Ambassador working group published a newspaper on the subject and had written various articles on it.

In this way, the question “Anti-Semitism – how current is it?” is pursued.

With an alarming conclusion: anti-Semitism is not just a thing of the past.

"Anti-Semitism is on the rise.

We can't just watch.

We must and can all do something.”

The Anne Frank newspaper is a multi-faceted publication that takes a lot of work.

There is also an article in the Festzeitung about Anne Frank's family and her biography.

Film and book tips, a small exhibition guide and a crossword puzzle are included.

A team of Anne Frank ambassadors presented their further work at the school and projects.

Among other things, the children and young people sought dialogue with Jewish students, who answered numerous questions.

A book exhibition in the school and district library in the AFG was also presented at the event.

The audience was invited to rehearse an Israeli dance under the kind guidance of Hildegund Ettelt at a Corona distance from Hava Nagila.

The lower school choir sang "On a Wagon Bound For Market".

Hildegund Ettelt (violin) and Simone Ojha (accordion) played a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach and Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla as a duo.

The second part of the evening consisted of a reading with music.

The Swiss author Thomas Meyer read from his humorous novel "Wolkenbruch's Journey into the Arms of a Schickse".

The book received several awards and was filmed.

In his essay "What should be Jewish on my nose please" Meyer dealt with anti-Semitism in everyday life - an enlightening examination of opinion-armoured views.

The two young people devote themselves to their profession at a professional level, studying musicology and music.
