SUMMARY:Indianapolis: Teaching and Scholarship on the Holocaust in the United States
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The ACG in partnership with the Leo Baeck Institute New York | Berlin will host a panel discussion with Professor Mark Roseman\, Pat M. Glazer Chair in Jewish Studies\, Borns Jewish Studies Program\, Indiana University; Dr. Andreas Götze\, Deputy Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chicago; Dr. Frank Mecklenburg\, Director of Research and Chief Archivist\, The Leo Baeck Institute – New York | Berlin; and Kelly A. Watson\, Regional Educator and Museum Teacher Fellow\, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.  \nThis lecture looks at the remarkable explosion of teaching and scholarship on the Holocaust in the United States over the last fifty years. In the 1970’s\, it would have been simply unthinkable that the Holocaust could dwarf the Second World War as a topic of memory\, pedagogy and research. Now in teaching students about the Holocaust we often have to remind them that a world war was taking place at the same time. The implications of this shift for understanding Germany\, Europe and the World is also a topic of the lecture. \nTo RSVP for this event\, please click on the link below:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/deutschlandjahr-event-tickets-66579790947\nThis event is complimentary but registration is required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Indianapolis: Remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall:  From German Unity to a New Beginning
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Indianapolis Warburg Chapter\, the Indiana Council on World Affairs\, and the Foundation for Lutheran Child and Family Services will host a discussion and reception with Tobias David\, Chief of Staff to the Lord Mayor of Leipzig on “Remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall: From German Unity to a New Beginning.” \nTobias David\, born in 1973\, grew up in Leipzig (in the former GDR/East Germany) and spent most of his school years under the conditions of the GDR dictatorship. Even as a teenager he was involved in opposition groups under the protection of the Catholic Church and became politically active early on. The Peaceful Revolution of 1989\, driven by the peace and civil rights movement\, had a lasting impact on his life. \nAfter studying political science and communications\, he worked for many years as Managing Director of a communications agency. In 2004 he moved to the Saxon State Parliament as Advisor to the Vice-President. Since 2008\, he has been the closest strategic advisor to the Mayor of the City of Leipzig. Mr. David was a participant in the ACG’s McCloy Leadership Mission on Urban Affairs and Sustainability in 2016. The Peaceful Revolution of 1989 — which ultimately led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany — began in Leipzig. Today Leipzig is not only one of the largest cities in Germany but also the fastest-growing German city. \nThis event is being held under the auspices of Deutschlandjahr USA 2018/2019 – the Year of German-American Friendship\, a comprehensive and collaborative initiative funded by the German Federal Foreign Office\, implemented by the Goethe-Institut\, and with support from the Federation of German Industries (BDI). For more information on the initiative and the more than 1\,000 projects that will take place between October 2018 and November 2019\, visit www.wunderbartogether.org. \nThis event is held in partnership with The International Center\, the Max Kade German-American Center\, and the World Affairs Councils of America.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
