Walter Kempowski: Echolot

In the organizer's words:

Reading night at HP8:

Venue: Generator, 1st floor

As a collective diary, the "Echolot" is a unique work that the author Walter Kempowski compiled over many years. It consists of very different texts: contemporary statements such as private notes and letters, official announcements, National Socialist propaganda and "completely normal" everyday observations. In this chronologically ordered collage, the entries are juxtaposed without commentary and thus unfold a very peculiar pull of memory work.

In the library in Hall E, we read the "Echolot" to each other, which gives us direct access to the last weeks of the Second World War and National Socialist rule via the text fragments. All literature enthusiasts are cordially invited to take part in this public reading. Of course, it is also possible to just listen!
