Art historian Kateryna Kostiuchenko and Slavicist Prof. Dr Verena Dohrn in dialogue
A married couple sits comfortably in a bright room, a bird on the windowsill keeping them company. The wine has already been consumed, the candles extinguished, and the bread half-eaten. Shabbat evening is over, and the actual day of rest has arrived.

Jankel Adler, Sabbat (Schabbat), Düsseldorf 1925, Öl auf Leinwand, Mischtechnik, Sand auf Leinwand, 120 x 110 cm; Jüdisches Museum Berlin, Inv.-Nr. 2003/207/0, Foto: Roman März
This depiction focuses not on the ceremony, but on a sense of coziness and togetherness, thus deviating from conventional depictions. The painting "Sabbath" was created in 1925 by the avant-garde artist Jankel Adler, who was originally from Łódź and active in Berlin and Düsseldorf. The poet Else Lasker-Schüler called him a Hebrew Rembrandt and dedicated a poem to him: "People everywhere call him dear Jankel."
This event will be dedicated to the Eastern European Jewish diaspora in Berlin before the outbreak of World War II and the influence of the diverse actors on the city. One example will be Jankel Adler.
For this purpose, the art historian Kateryna Kostiuchenko, who has studied Adler at the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, and the historian and Slavist Prof. Dr. Verena Dohrn will enter into a dialogue.
