Was ist ein Mensch wert?

In the organizer's words:

Contemporary witness Antje Kosemund talks about the history of her family and her work up to the present day. The VVN-BdA activist and researcher describes her experiences during the Nazi dictatorship and talks about her search for traces of her sister Irma, who was a victim of euthanasia*.

Antje Kosemund, born in Hamburg in 1928, has been active for more than 20 years on the Hamburg regional board of the Association of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime - League of Anti-Fascists. She is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Auschwitz Committee and the Advisory Board of the Hamburg Foundation for Victims of Nazi Persecution. For around 20 years, Antje Kosemund has been giving lectures at technical and comprehensive schools, trade unions and other organizations and has campaigned for a dignified remembrance of the victims of euthanasia during the Nazi era.

The event will be accompanied by music from the political singer-songwriter Kai Degenhardt.

Further information and materials on the story of Irma Sperling are available from the Geschichtswerkstatt Barmbek. In addition to a tour "In the footsteps of Irma Sperling" in Barmbek Süd, the book "Sperlingskinder" by Antje Kosemund and the DVD "Meine Schwester Irma" are available from the Geschichtswerkstatt.

*Euthanasia refers to the systematic murder of mentally ill and disabled people during National Socialism
