We are delighted to inform you that the eleventh biennial meeting of the International Feuchtwanger Society (IFS) will take place on September 12-14, 2024. This year's conference topic is From Weimar to Hope – the Feuchtwangers in the Interwar Period.

The conference is jointly organised by the Leo Baeck Institute London, the Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies, University of London, and the International Feuchtwanger Society.

The conference centers around the idea of Britain, the British Commonwealth, and the British Mandate of Palestine as hub and transit for Jews, intellectuals, artists, and political opponents of the National Socialist regime in the interwar and postwar years.

A special focus of the conference is the Feuchtwanger family, their lives, work, and networks in relationship with Britain and the role that Britain played as a waystation for members of the Feuchtwanger family and other exiles.

The conference will take place in a hybrid format.

Conference languages: German and English.

Conference Venue:
Senate House, University of London
Malet Street
