Invitation to the Conference Jewish Studies in Tartu : Lazar Gulkowitsch and his Seminarium Litterarum Judaearum Tartuensis (a Memory for the Future) May 13th to 15th, 2007 in Tartu, Estonia
The University of Tartu, its Faculty of Theology, and the Institutum Judaicum of the Eberhard-Karls-University of Tubingen invite you on the occasion of the 375th Anniversary of the Alma Mater Tartuensis to a Memorial Conference of the Seminarium Litterarum Judaearum Universitatis Tartuensis (1934-1940) and its founder, Lazar Gulkowitsch (1898-1941). More than 70 years are past, since Lazar Gulkowitsch, having studied and worked in Koenigsberg and Leipzig, driven out of Leipzig in 1933, came to Tartu and began to build up his institute for Jewish Studies. When only few years were granted for this institution - it was closed by the Soviet authorities and Gulkowitsch himself was executed soon after the occupation of Tartu by Nazis. It has still its special place in the history of not only the University of Tartu, but also of the Jewish Studies. We have to remind this work and make it fruitful for the future, we have to discuss, how this work begun by Gulkowitsch and his students can be carried on today. The programme includes beside the papers and discussion on the subject also the opening of the plaque in honour of L. Gulkowitsch, sightseeing tour "Academic and Jewish Tartu" and a Festvortrag with following reception on the third day. Detailed programme of the conference with further information will be sent after You have announced Your participation.
