A joint event by Wiener Festwochen, ERSTE Foundation and @iwm.at. In cooperation with the Jewish Museum Vienna.
Initiated by ERSTE Foundation for Europe day, the series began in 2019 with a lecture by the acclaimed historian
@timothysnyder.bsky.social.
The timing & setting are not a coincidence. Judenplatz, steeped in layers of European history, serves as a powerful stage for ideas that shape the continent.
Her speech explores what it means to be a migrant in a divided world — at once open and alienated, seen and erased. Standing in front of Vienna’s Holocaust Memorial, @leaypi.bsky.social reminds us that the cost of exclusion is not abstract, it is written in stone.
In Vienna’s Judenplatz, »A Speech to Europe« offers an annual moment of reflection on Europe’s past, present, and future. This year, renowned philosopher and political scientist @leaypi.bsky.social took the stage to reflect on migration and identity.
A Speech To Europe 2025: »A world in which nobody is forced to leave their home« by @leaypi.bsky.social
