For the 75th anniversary of the Kristallnacht, Prof. Moshe Zimmerman will give his lecture: "The Third Reich as a State of Robbers".

After the lecture there will be a screening of the film "Human Failure" (Menschliches Versagen, Germany 2008) by Michael Verhoeven, which focus on the "Aryanisation" of Jewish property, the exclusion of Jews  from the economic and every-day life and eventually their total deportation from Cologne to Munich. The film shows stories which show the economic benefits the civilian German society gained from the organized robbery of Jewish property.
