Children's book reading with Eva Lezzi: When a Yiddish poem becomes a detective case
On August 29, 2026, literature meets memory culture, children's crime, and historical resonance at the Municipal Museum Braunschweig. Eva Lezzi presents her second volume of the series The Urban Detectives and introduces young and adult listeners to a narrative that cleverly intertwines suspense, friendship, and Jewish history.
A literary experience between crime and cultural history
The reading opens a space where children's literature is more than entertainment: it becomes a conversation about belonging, observation, and the power of language. At the center is Annabelle, a chess player, whose disappearance sparks the detective curiosity of the urban detectives. An old Yiddish poem, an auction, a trace of forgery – from this emerges a narrative that works with literary quality and a fine sense of atmosphere.
Eva Lezzi and the art of clever children's crime fiction
Eva Lezzi is known for children's and youth books on Jewish and transcultural themes. The Beltz publishing house describes her as an author who reads in schools and libraries and conducts writing workshops. This proximity to the audience also shapes her books: the language remains accessible, the narratives remain multi-layered, and the crime case gains profile through social observation and cultural depth.
What makes this reading special
The event combines reading, cultural education, and author encounters. The story of Jona, Deniz, Laura, Irina, Max, and Annabelle demonstrates how children's literature makes diversity visible without being didactic. Those who listen here experience not only an exciting excerpt from a new book but also a reading atmosphere that invites the audience to engage.
Place with historical aura: the Municipal Museum Braunschweig
The Municipal Museum at Steintorwall is a place of museum dignity and urban presence. The event space in the building at Löwenwall provides a framework for the children's book reading that gives special depth to the theme of the special exhibition In their own voice. 75 years of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. Admission is free; pre-registration is not required.
Conclusion: An afternoon for young detectives
This children's book reading promises a lively afternoon filled with suspense, conversation, and literary discovery. Those who experience Eva Lezzi live encounter a children's novel that combines puzzles, friendship, and history into an engaging reading experience. An appointment for families, school classes, and all who appreciate smart children's literature.
