Svenja Leiber brings an intense literary evening to Braunschweig with "Nelka"

The reading and discussion with Svenja Leiber at the Schillstraße Memorial combine contemporary literature, historical remembrance, and a special event atmosphere. On April 21st at 7:00 PM, the novel Nelka will be the focus, complemented by the moderation of Verena Noll and collaboration with the Raabe-Haus: Literature Center.

An evening between literature, memory, and the present

Nelka leads into the world of forced labor, deportation, and female resistance. The novel tells the story of a young woman whose knowledge of fruit cultivation determines life, dependency, and memory. In the Schillstraße Memorial, this story receives an impressive framework that makes the event experience particularly vivid.

The venue lends special depth to the reading

The Schillstraße Memorial itself is a historically charged place of learning and remembrance. Here, literary language, event planning, and historical responsibility converge. The interplay of reading, discussion, and place creates an atmosphere that invites the audience to listen, reflect, and classify.
