Consul General Reiner Möckelmann, retired West German diplomat and director of Summer School Wust, will lecture about his experiences working for the embassy during the Cold War and since 2006 as director of the Summer School Wust in former East Germany. The school was founded to give educational opportunities to former citizens of the GDR. He celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the wall at the school this summer by hosting prominent figures from politics and law who were participants in the ‘peaceful revolution’ and members of formal roundtable negotiations in eastern Germany in 1989-1990. Brown University’s German Studies Professor Kay Goodman was a founder of the school. His talk begins at 7 p.m. in the Joukowsky Forum, Watson Institute, 111 Thayer St.
