An evening about home, memory and Jewish exile poetry

On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the Theatre of the City of Aalen, together with its partners, invites you to a special vigil and an evening dedicated to Jewish exile poetry. Under the title And home is secret – not outcry, texts, music, and art combine to create a compelling event experience centered around memory, exclusion, and the personal significance of home.

A quiet start at KulturBahnhof

The event begins at 6 PM at the KulturBahnhof KUBAA at Georg-Elser-Platz. As a meeting point for the vigil on the eve of November 9 – the memorial day for the Night of the Pogroms – the evening creates space to pause, listen, and assume collective responsibility for a culture of remembrance.

Jewish exile poetry meets music and art

The focus is on literary texts from the Jewish exile tradition. Language, music, and artistic impulses enter into dialogue and open up different perspectives on home, loss, and belonging. The combination of multiple forms of expression lends the evening a concentrated, thoughtful event atmosphere.

Culture of remembrance as a shared event experience

The organization of the evening follows a clear target audience approach: It is aimed at people who are interested in literature, history, theater, and social cohesion. The event management relies on a dignified framework and an immediate audience mood in which personal reflection and collective remembrance come together.

Exchange over tea and pastries

Following the vigil and the literary-musical part, an exchange over tea and pastries is planned. The evening concludes at 7 PM at the Adult Education Center Aalen, Gmünder Straße 9. Thus, beyond the stage program, there is an opportunity for encounter and conversation.

Conclusion: An evening that resonates

This event connects literature, music, art, and remembrance into a concentrated cultural experience. Those who want to give space to questions about home, loss, and social cohesion will experience a special evening with personal depth at KulturBahnhof Aalen. Admission is free; no registration is required.
