Von Hunden und Menschen - Lesung von Martin Schorn aus seinem Buch

In the organizer's words:

About dogs and people
Reading by Martin Schorn from his book

Rocco the puppy is rescued by children from a burning pile of garbage in the streets of Naples.
Veronika goes to the animal shelter to choose a cat for her brother and comes home with three puppies.
The little dog Lily lies more dead than alive on a beach in California, where a jogger finds her.
People have told Johannes these and many other moving stories since he began his daily walks through Cologne's Südstadt district, over the "stumbling stones" that commemorate those murdered by the Nazis, through the avenues and parks or along the banks of the Rhine. With Lilie at his side, who came to him under dramatic circumstances and has changed his life for the better despite Trump, Putin, the pandemic and new wars. But that is another story that is told here.
These are stories of dogs and people from the southern city, of struggles for survival and existence, of love and loss, of people's doubts about themselves.
But in the end, the joy of life prevails - thanks to the great love that connects dogs and people.

Martin Schorn, born in 1949, lives in Cologne with his wife and dog. He has worked as a freelance author and director for radio and television. He has carried out numerous cultural and political education projects in cooperation with schools, community centers, music schools and the NS Documentation Center of the City of Cologne.
A few years ago, he adopted an old dog. Inspired by the animal's love and his encounters with other dogs and people, he began to write about it.
