Please Sign Up for the Online Event at the Link Below:
All students are warmly invited to meet the Her.Tietz initiative, a Hertie School alumni and student group. Our initiative argues for a more open handling of the “aryanization” of the Hermann Tietz company and the anti-Semitic repressions against the Tietz family. Furthermore, Her.Tietz wants to address the growing antisemitism in today’s societies. We would be excited to have you join our online meeting on the 10th of September, at 4 pm CET via Zoom with members of the core team of the Her.Tietz initiative and guest historian, Christoph Kreutzmueller. We hope to answer any questions you may have and invite you to join our discussion about strengthening the commemoration culture within the Hertie School community.
