From 1989 to 2007, the magazine Jura Soyfer was published in print in German with a circulation of up to 6,000 copies. At the same time, since 2000, the journal Jura Soyfer Online has been published on the Internet. From 2021 onwards, the contributions to Soyfer symposia and virtual conferences – articles, pictures, radio plays, films and also scans of printed matter etc. – will be published in this virtual journal. At its core, it is about defending literature, the arts, science, and people. „We are the number in the cadastral sheet,“ says the „Song of the Simple Man“ by Jura Soyfer. „It’s up to us!“ is the motto of the „Lechner Edi“. Soyfer became a number in the Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps and died of typhus in the Buchenwald concentration camp on February 16, 1939. But his Dachau song, his plays, prose, poems have remained alive. His texts have been translated into more than 50 languages. Scientific debate is taking place all over the world. His plays are not only performed, but also broadcast as radio plays on radios worldwide. His poems and texts are available on the Internet in many languages. In 2023, the 32nd Soyfer Symposion will take place, during which 35 years of the Jura Soyfer Society will also be presented. Memories and concepts are to be summarised in issue 10 of the journal Jura Soyfer Online. The symposion is also linked to the project page The Liveliness of the Murdered. Finds, collections, information on activities are documented in the Virtual Soyfer Archive according to financial possibilities. Millions seem little in the context of billions of people. But it is a step in the context of an attempt at globalization with a human face. For example, the translation of Soyfer’s play Broadway Melody 1492 in Hindi was published in the run-up to the G20 summit in New Delhi 2023. Soyfer’s texts refer to a different approach to new technologies. Soyfer had already recognized that robots must be tools of humans. The failure of attempts to understand machines as subjects has been depicted since the 18th century and also by Soyfer. Moreover, the world is not just 0 and 1. But in many ways, digitalization is useful, as the Jura Soyfer Society has been proving since 1988 with its innovative use. See also the documentation for the homepage. In 2021, the 30th Soyfer Symposion was dedicated to the topic of virtuality. It is about presenting the findings of decades of analyses, projects, but also about new approaches and projects. 2022 included the virtual conference Jura Soyfer: Multilingualism. A European-Arab polylogue and the 31st symposion on Platform Jura Soyfer took place. 2024 shall be the year of extensive publications of contributions also from the past.
