Women’s Lives in Stories, Letters, and Diaries

What do female life concepts sound like when literature does not view history from a distance, but makes voices, memories, and personal experiences audible? The reading “Because God could not be everywhere, he created mothers” invites you to a literary journey through the centuries at the Jewish Museum Franken in Fürth.

A Panorama of Jewish Female Images

Sabine Forkel-Kutschka focuses on classical and modern female images from a Jewish perspective. Narratives as well as selected passages from letters and diaries of and about Jewish women from the 19th and 20th centuries reveal a multifaceted panorama of female life concepts.

At the center are mothers and daughters, working women and homemakers, wives and lovers, rebels and saviors. The texts tell of tradition and new beginnings, of adaptation and resistance. This creates a literary dialogue between private life stories and the societal conditions of their time.

Reading Atmosphere with Linguistic Density

Sabine Forkel-Kutschka is a theater and media scholar as well as an experienced cultural mediator. She combines her readings with great stage passion and a fine sense for language, rhythm, and mood. From documentary voices and literary scenes, she forms an atmospherically dense listening experience.

It is precisely the connection of letters, diary passages, and narrative literature that gives the afternoon its special narrative quality. Between quiet personal observations and powerful moments of resistance, female history becomes a tangible cultural discourse.
