“Freedom without Walls” events continue today with a lecture, a film, an exhibition and the visit of 400 high school students.
The students, from 17 local and regional high schools, will visit the college from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Students will view the wall and participate in a variety of interactive stations staffed by Canisius College German majors. Students will learn about Germany during the fall of Communism as well as German culture.
Horst Freitag, consul general of the Federal Republic of Germany, will give a lecture entitled “Transatlantic Relations – 20 Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall” at 8 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge.
“Burning Life” (1992) will be screened at 7 p.m. in Lyons Hall Room 418. The film is a portrait of contemporary Germany as a land of despair and disillusion, where people seem to have only two options in life – a career in crime or suicide. After the main character, Lisa, sees her father take the second option, she chooses the first.
The poster exhibition on the history of Germany between the fall of the wall and unification is now on display in the hallway between Old Main and the Library.
“Freedom Without Walls” commemorates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the demise of communism. To learn more about this week’s events, click here.
