We’re excited to launch our new interview series: ‘Civil Engagement and Democracy in German History: Jewish Experiences and Perspectives’.
This English-language project is based on Engagement & Demokratie in der jüdisch-deutschen Geschichte, first published by the Freunde und Förderer des Leo Baeck Instituts.
We begin with the remarkable story of Hans Litten – the Berlin lawyer who famously summoned Adolf Hitler to court in 1931. In this interview, historian Knut Bergbauer explores Litten’s political courage, his Jewish youth activism, and his tragic fate under National Socialism.

Upcoming features include Lina Morgenstern, Hugo Preuß, and more.
