Digging up the Doll: Inherited Memories of the Removal of German Nationals From Eastern Europe
A lecture by Linda Warley, University of Waterloo
Michael Götting is an author, journalist and curator. His novel Contrapunctus (Counterpoint) was published in September 2015.
German author and entrepreneur Marc Degens will be reading from his work in both German and English:
Learn how a city was pushed to the edge during the First World War - to the point of changing its name from Berlin to Kitchener through a controversial and high-tension referendum.
Berlin’s name change to Kitchener was not just a simple vote. Tumultuous times divided the otherwise peaceful city into two groups, reflecting the Great War that had erupted in Europe two years prior and, in the end, made the name change in 1916 Berlin/Kitchener anything but simple.
Election battles were fought ferociously in pre-World War One Germany, when most middle-class Germans still opposed formal democracy. Anti-democrats deployed many exclusionary strategies that flew in the face of electoral fairness.
