Lecture by Professor Michael Wachtel on the Vita Nova Publishing House

Michael Wachtel, Professor in Princeton University's Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, delivers an academic presentation drawing from approximately 800 pages of unpublished correspondence. The talk examines the interactions between Jewish philosopher-musician Evsei Davidovich Shor and Protestant writer-publisher Rudolf Roessler through the lens of the Vita Nova Publishing House, with particular focus on their daring anti-Nazi publication Die Gefährdung des Christentums durch Rassenwahn und Judenverfolgung.
