You are welcome to join us for a lecture by 

Thomas Fischer, together with Andreas Jung:

In 1933 Jung not only travelled to Palestine/Israel, it is also the year Jung and Erich Neumann met for the first time at a seminar in Berlin. The same year Jung is appointed professor at ETH Zurich, and the Eranos conferences in Ascona, Switzerland, started. With the publication of “Modern Man in Search of a Soul” his works become widely popularized in the Anglo-Saxon world, while Jung on the backdrop of the national-socialist grip to power in Germany as a neutral Swiss is asked to become president of the General Medical Society for Psychotherapy, which led to much controversy.

As part of this lecture, Andreas Jung will share undisclosed material about Jung's visit to Jerusalem, end of March 1933.

Thomas Fischer
born 1971, PhD, studied History, Political Science, Public and International Law at the Universities of Zurich and Brussels. Since 2013 he is director of the Foundation of the Works of C.G. Jung, Zurich. He currently lives with his wife, a Swiss career diplomat, and their two young sons in Ottawa, Canada. He is a great-grandson of C.G. and Emma Jung.
