"...sheds light on the tension between historical consciousness (of guilt) and emotional engagement (with suffering) that continues to define German memory culture"
Biography Research Centre AITIA is glad to invite you on March 7th at 18:30 to watch the final episode of the series "Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter" ("Our Mothers, our Fathers", the film also known as Generation War), which is dedicated to the events of the Second World War.
The film was created by German film director Niko Hofman (born in 1959), whose parents were prototypes for some of the film characters.
Plot: Five friends are having a farewell party before being sent to the Eastern front to Russia. They are sure that they will return to Germany for Christmas to celebrate the victory. But this reunion on Christmas Day in 1941 did not take place.
We invite you to joint watching and the discussion. We hope to continue the dialogue about this film that was started between Russian and German audience in the frame of the first and second meetings.
