Overnight, our press release, \u201cHentrich &amp; Hentrich Verlag Berlin moves to Leipzig,\u201d went from being a simple change of address communication to a political statement, triggering a wave of public attention that completely overwhelmed us. A publisher specializing in Jewish culture and contemporary history moves to Saxony, a hotbed of right-wing and neo-Nazi activity, albeit in the left-leaning island of Leipzig. So was it an act of courage, or simple na\u00efvet\u00e9? Although Leipzig is recognized for its longstanding traditions around books, culture, and trade fairs, we faced plenty of skepticism, or at least curiosity, about how a Jewish publisher would be received in Saxony. We went on the offensive. One of our very first acts was to send a German-Israeli-Persian author out on a reading tour of Saxony. One of his first stops: Chemnitz. His success recipe became the unofficial credo for our organization: With his own life story as background, he talked straightforwardly while also taking his listeners\u2019 experiences seriously.<\/p>\n\n<p>This publishing house is an exercise in democracy and isn\u2019t tied to a specific location, but is rooted in functional democracy. To quote Friedrich Ebert: \u201cDemocracy requires democrats.\u201d More than ever, our topics and projects are aimed not at some amorphous readership, but at democrats who are aware of history and the present day.<\/p>\n\n<p>How has being in Saxony changed our work? We are closer to social debates that are conducted here more directly and not through the &#8222;filter bubble&#8220; of the Berlin Republic that neutralizes every discourse. We are forced to take a stand, and we are better known. We have become more political and also more diplomatic. We take a position, but not on our own, instead in alliances. We think and are involved, now more than ever, beyond any specific book.<\/p>\n\n<p>Have we changed Saxony? At any rate, so far the state has been tolerating our self-confident Jewish voices and uncomfortable historical realities with remarkable calm.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/drachenburgenjudenhass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/portraits-01-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1122\" srcset=\"http:\/\/drachenburgenjudenhass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/portraits-01-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/drachenburgenjudenhass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/portraits-01-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/drachenburgenjudenhass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/portraits-01-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/drachenburgenjudenhass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/portraits-01-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/drachenburgenjudenhass.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/portraits-01-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo: Hentrich &amp; Hentrich<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>Dr. Nora Pester, <\/strong>born in Leipzig in 1977.
