On the eve of the anniversary of the Russian invasion in Ukraine,
The Goethe-Zentrum invites to the screening of "Let us Die”.
As a young man in the late 1980s, Tim Mallad, purchased an old, beaten-up desk in Dallas. Inside, he found an old British Passport, black and white photographs, a letter from Tel Aviv, international air mail from the 1950s, and a collection of fragile letters that were written in German at the end of World War II. This finding is the unlikely beginning of a story that ultimately led into the darkness of war crimes in the city of Neustrelitz at the time of Germany’s liberation from the Nazi regime – and that led Frank Pringham, great grandnephew of Thomas Mann, into a chapter of his family history previously unknown.
