Margot Friedländer – »Seid Menschen«

Three extraordinary women are the centre of the eponymous concert series. At the Villa Elisabeth, their stories, work and influence are brought to life on three evenings – in stories by three authors and experts and in compositions that mirror the circumstances of the protagonists’ lives and times.

The focus of the final concert, on 9 May 2027, is Margot Friedländer (1921–2025). As a Holocaust survivor, she left Berlin for the USA in 1946, ultimately returning to her hometown in 2010 at the advanced age of eighty-nine. As an eyewitness, she tirelessly combated forgetting and moved thousands with her commitment to humanity and tolerance. Malin Schwerdtfeger, the co-author of Friedländer’s autobiography, reads from her memoirs.
