RAF – Terrorist Violence Special Exhibition, Deutsches Historisches Museum. Berlin event.

Due to popular demand, we decided to visit this exhibition again. This time we will join the guided tour at 1 pm, Sunday February 22. So do be there on time. The guiding will be done in German by one of the Museum staff.

The Deutsches Historisches Museum is hosting one of the first special exhibitions on the Red Army Faction and 'red terror' in Germany.

From the DHM website:
"The terroristic violence of the RAF was the biggest domestic challenge in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The exhibition shows documents and objects from the late 1960s to the present, demonstrating how political ideals changed into violent acts. It also considers the state’s reaction and provides insights into the societal discourse."

After the tour we will go for some refreshments. Jan Schultz, the PhD researcher who held a talk for us in November on hunger strikes in support of the RAF will join us, and will be glad to discuss it with us.

The Deutsches Historisches Museum charges admission and the tour costs a few Euros extra, so bring money, and if you are a student (or a pensioner), bring ID.

After the museum visit we will as usual have a friendly discussion with refreshments in a nearby café.

Meet up arrangements: At the entrance of the DHM. We will start at 15.00, so be on time. Look for me: short beard, long hair, red sweater.

Place: Deutsches Historisches Museum
Date and Time: Sunday 22nd February, 1245
