📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

You will work and spend your free time closely together with the KAEMPFER UND FREUNDE DER SPANISCHEN REPUBLIK 1936-1939 E.V.

💼 What the programme involves

Work: You will work on FRIEDRICHSFELDE CENTRAL CEMETERY, where, among many others, survivors of the Spanish Civil War and their families are buried. Your first task is writing down the names, which can be read on the gravestones. If they are not readable anymore, you will help to clean them and to paint over the names under professional guidance.Study Part: Besides the work on the cemetery, you will go on a guided tour through the Cemetery, which is not only a cemetery, but also a park. You will meet and talk to descendants of former Brigadists, go on a guided antifascist city walk, have a reading and discussion with Victor Grossman and other persons. We ask you to be open to the topic.
