Comiclesung: Birgit Weyhe

In the organizer's words:

Comic reading: Birgit Weyhe reads from Schweigen. The graphic novel recalls two women and their fates. The first is Ellen Marx, a 17-year-old German Jew who emigrated to Buenos Aires in the spring of 1939. Ellen's entire family perished in the Holocaust. In the 1970s, Ellen's experience of dictatorship is tragically repeated: Her daughter Nora "disappears" during the cruel Argentinean military dictatorship. The other is Elisabeth Käsemann: she belongs to the German post-war generation that politicizes itself within the student movement. From 1969, she studied in Buenos Aires and became involved in the city's poor neighborhoods. In 1977 she was arrested, deported to the El Vesubio torture camp and murdered. Organized by the Golden Shop.
