On November 10 (at 6:30 pm), there will be a conversation meeting with the Protestant theologian Walter Joelsen, in which the 90-year-old will talk about his personal experiences in the era of National Socialist. Coming from a German-Jewish family, he was expelled from the “Gymnasium” and later conscripted to forced labor. His aim is to share his experiences with the younger generation to ensure that this era will never be forgotten. He is accompanied by Pastor Dr. Björn Mensing, who works at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. EHG-TUM (6:30 pm to 10 pm), Gabelsbergerstr. 9, Munich, Germany.
