Jura Soyfer: sites of memory
The House of Austrian History
The work of Jura Soyfer is connected closely with the founding of the Republic in 1918, even though he was born in czaristic Russian Kharkov in 1912 and arrived 1920 in Vienna. But the founding of the Republic is essential in his plays, his poems, and in the novel „Thus died a party“. The founding is associated with democracy, with freedom. He applies first of all to defend it, then to fight the dictatorship from 1933-1938, for which he was arrested in 1937 and then released in February 1938 in the wake of a general amnesty. Soyfer also engaged for the independence of Austria. In the days of the occupation of Austria, he tries to get with his comrade Dr. Hugo Ebner on skis in the saving Switzerland. He is arrested by an Austrian patrol. He died on February 16, 1939 in concentration camp Buchenwald.
Directly and indirectly a total 300 scientists, artists, translators from over 30 countries are participating in this Symposion. There were intensive discussions with Univ.-Prof. MMag. Dr. Hartmut Krones (Vienna), Univ.Prof.in Dr.in Alessandra Schininà (Ragusa), Dr. Jürgen Stern (Vienna), Director Elke Hartmann (Landestheater Innsbruck) as well as a global exchange via email and Skype. The results of these preparations will be included in the Symposion.
It is important to understand that in addition to the historical dimension this scientific, artistic thinking about Jura Soyfer takes place in a context, in which the Jura Soyfer Society has provided pioneering in the field of digitization, Internet . Now the society is the one that provides basic information in the field of quantum technology.
The question is in this context what options have languages, literatures, arts, science, research, knowledge production. – They played a big role in 1918 and in 2018 artists ask for a democratic European Republic.
The results of the Symposion shall be documented 2019 in Jura Soyfer Open Access Online.
