Overview
- About 400 students in grades 8 to 10 are taking part this week at five schools in the city.
- The sessions feature Holocaust survivor Ruth Winkelmann in conversation with Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, with appearances by public figures including Bärbel Bas, Kai Wegner, Kida Khodr Ramadan and Eko Fresh.
- Holograms are projected onto large video cubes to create a lifelike presence, followed by interactive classroom work prepared by teachers.
- The educational concept and materials were developed with Berlin educators, including Carolin Kleinfeld and Sebastian Telschow.
- The initiative, led by Nicolai Schwarzer and the association Nie wieder ist jetzt e. V., grew from low youth turnout at a 2023 rally and launched after overcoming technical and funding delays, with schools expected to apply for future rounds.
