Choose Your Own German Book! - Thursday, November 29 7-9pm

Another 'choose your own adventure' Reading Group! Instead of the Centre stipulating the book, we're leaving it up to you! So, read whatever German-related book you'd like, be it written by a German/Swiss/Austria author in whatever language you can easily read, or a novel that really interests you that's been translated into German, and bring it along to the meeting.

WCGS recently interviewed Waterloo Region Museum Curator, Adèle Hempel, about the ongoing exhibition "Canada and Germany: Partners from Immigration to Innovation."
