Rachel Salamander donates archive to research

Rachel Salamander, a prominent figure in German-Jewish dialogue, is donating her personal archive to research. The archive contains materials documenting her life and work, including her role as a bookseller and public intellectual. Salamander is known for founding the Literaturhandlung bookshop in Munich, which became a hub for Jewish literature and culture. The donation ensures that her contributions to fostering understanding between Germans and Jews will be preserved for future study. The decision comes amid rising antisemitism in Germany following the Hamas massacre, prompting many Jews to question their future in the country.
