The Nazi regime forced people in Berlin underground – either to resist or to survive. The seminar commemorates some of these forms of civil courage, which were only possible at the risk of one's life, and shows how people were able to hide from the Gestapo.
On five days, each from 9:00 to 17:00, we will engage with the seminar topic through lectures, discussions, guided tours and visits to locations. Individual program items, as well as the opening event at the start of the seminar, take place in our seminar room at Brunnenstraße 142 (directly at the Bernauer Straße U-Bahn station); where possible, original or atmospherically fitting sites will also be visited during the further course of the seminar.The program is divided into 90-minute blocks, with breaks and time for a shared lunch planned. The seminar begins and ends daily in Berlin.
