Literary Works - Weekend Book Festival at Bebelplatz, Mitte District Reklamy

During the talk sessions, various topics like aviation, urban existence, and income inequality are brought up. As an illustration, the PEN Berlin authors' organisation likewise conducts a panel debate on the subject of antisemitism in the cultural industry, accompanied by Culture Senator Joe Chialo (CDU). Right before that, the Bebelplatz was renamed "Hamas Hostages' Square" for a few weeks, reminding us of the Israeli captives.

The location in Berlin-Mitte is also significant: About 90 years ago, National Socialists burnt books from Jewish, communist, liberal, and censuring authors at this very place.
