The partnership with the KU also includes the Ingolstadt School of Management at the KU. Its new dean, Prof. Dr. André Habisch, has long maintained contacts with Ben Gurion University. He reports: "A BGU guest lecturer who taught at our faculty just this past July is himself the grandson of Holocaust survivors. His grandparents met in 1945 in the Dorfen reception camp near Erding, where his mother was also born in early 1946. On the sidelines of his visit last year, we went on a special search for traces on site. Last Saturday, the colleague himself and his entire family almost fell victim to the massacre by Hamas terrorists – they just managed to get to safety and were shocked by what they had to witness around them." Against this historical backdrop, Germany is called upon in a special way to get involved wherever Jewish life is threatened, Habisch said.
