Conference of the Project „The post-Holocaust Development of Legal Remedies as a Learning Process (Post-Holocaust Remedies)”
Intellectual Property Rights Related to Works Authored in Ghettos and Concentration Camps
Art can be an emotional escape, and the exhibition
“Trace of Life” shows this power by presenting the
creations of some of the 1.5 million children murdered
in the Holocaust. This exhibition also tells a copyright
story, which is part of our cooperation partner Prof.
Lior Zemer’s academic legal research. The copyright
ownership in works of art, drama, music, and literature
created by Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration
camps is an underrepresented topic discussed in
academic legal research to date. This conference,
organized by the Chair for Public Law and International
Law (JLU Giessen), will open new ground in this field
by inviting different experts who will talk about their
research. In addition, the conference will deepen the
research by discussing the question of ownership in
an interdisciplinary scope.
The organizers would like to thank the Juristische Studiengesellschaft Gießen e.V. (Friends of the School of Law, Justus Liebig University Gießen) for their kind support of this event.
