Life writings

Jewish experiences into literature

From March 23 to September 30, 2024

Museu d'Història dels Jueus

What do Glükel de Hameln, Natalia Ginzburg, Imre Kertész and Yehuda Amikhai have in common?

This exhibition presents authors of Jewish origin who, in a time span that goes from the 17th to the 21st century, have written from the self, have woven stories where they speak from the inside. By doing this, they have projected themselves into the world, and have explained it from their context and life circumstances.

With this exhibition, we want to raise a reflection on the importance of writing conceived as a vital witness, and on the transcendence of the cultural diversity that shapes us.

If you enjoy reading, you can participate in our Reading Club (in Catalan) linked to the exhibition:
