RAF – Terrorist Violence Special Exhibition at Deutsches Historisches Museum

The Deutsches Historisches Museum is hosting one of the first special exhibitions on the Red Army Faction and 'red terror' in Germany.

From the DHM website:

"The terroristic violence of the RAF was the biggest domestic challenge in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The exhibition shows documents and objects from the late 1960s to the present, demonstrating how political ideals changed into violent acts. It also considers the state’s reaction and provides insights into the societal discourse."

Due to the lack of an english public tour at a sensible time, and the insane price they charge for a dedicated tour, we will skip that. Jan Schultz, the PhD researcher who held a talk for us last month on hunger strikes in support of the RAF will join us, however, and will be glad to discuss the exhibition with us.

The Deutsches Historisches Museum charges admission, so bring money, and if you are a student (or a pensioner), bring ID.

After the museum visit we will as usual have a friendly discussion with refreshments in a nearby café.
