Remember
There are only a few survivors of National Socialism who can personally report on that terrible time. What should remembrance work look like so that future generations also learn from history? What new paths can schools, memorials and museums take to reach the younger generation? Andreas Bönte from Bayerischer Rundfunk will discuss this with experts on Monday, March 18th at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. Also sitting on the podium Ariella Chmiel, the managing director of the Jewish literature store in Munich. She is also involved in the working group “Commemoration of November 9, 1938” and chairwoman of the non-profit organization “Mitzwe Makers” (Mitzwe means “good deeds”). Discussing with her: Holocaust survivor Ernst Grube, member of the Association of Those Persecuted by the Nazi Regime, President of the Dachau Camp Community and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Bavarian Memorials Foundation; Cornelia Dold from the House of Remembrance in Mainz; and Jörg Skriebeleit, head of the Flossenbürg Concentration Camp Memorial and founding director of the Center for Remembrance Culture at the University of Regensburg. The event takes place as part of the “The Return of Names” project, which was launched by Bavarian Radio to remember 1,000 Munich residents who were persecuted during the Nazi regime. Starting at 7 p.m. in the Residenz, Alfons-Goppel-Straße 11, entry is free, but registration is required at https://eveeno.com/Erinnerungskultur-2024.

The short film “Cowboy” has not even been available for ten hours in the ARD media library on the cell phone of Jonathan Joel Albrecht vibrates. Strange requests from strangers are piling up on Instagram. Albrecht soon finds out what happened. Nude pictures of him have gone viral. “They are stills from the film and were shared on an American blog,” says Albrecht. “I found it shocking how quickly it happened,” says the 25-year-old. Even though it was his first nude scenes, he had no problems with it from the start. Even the unpleasant news doesn’t bother him much. “It would be nice if we, as actors, were paid the way some people offer me for private strip videos.” The short film celebrated its premiere in Kitzbühel, after which it was shown at the Bamberg Short Film Festival and took part in the “best short film” competition at the Polish film festival Cameraimage. In the 14 minutes, Albrecht plays a young man who steals a leather jacket and is mistaken for a rich woman in a posh hotel. With a call boy she booked. Instead of clarifying that there was probably a misunderstanding, he takes the elevator to her suite and gets ready to play along. But then the real call boy shows up and suddenly the fake guy is standing naked on the roof terrace. In the background are the towers of the Frauenkirche, in the foreground you can see Albrecht’s now famous butt. He is now also known in Lower Bavaria. “Cowboy” was shown at the 24th Landshut Short Film Festival and was one of the jury’s favorites.

The last appearance of Joshua Kimmich was rather a little bored. Well, the FC Bayern player couldn’t do much about it. His guest role in Tatort at the beginning of 2023 was that of a rather clearly and exciting fitness trainer who answers questions for Kalli (Ferdinand Hofer). Now Kimmich is back as a guest in the 95th episode of the Munich crime scene called “Look at me”. It’s about violent videos and a body found in a sewer. It runs on April 7th. Kimmich’s role has not yet been described in more detail; he is listed as a guest alongside crime scene detective Harald Krassnitzer.

“The right school material is the cornerstone for a successful school experience,” he says Petra Reiter, the wife of Mayor Dieter Reiter. For years she has been responsible for the “Bunte Münchner Kindl” project run by the “We Help Munich” foundation, so that primary school students are provided with notebooks, pens and more if they need them. “We want to avoid exclusion, promote integration and enable educational equality from the first to the last day of school,” says Petra Reiter. We help children whose guardians cannot or can barely afford basic school equipment. More than 3,000 were supported in this way last year. In collaboration with the Munich Teachers’ Association, teachers or social workers can request the materials they need from the “Bunten Münchner Kindln”. The project is financed through donations. The Baywa Foundation has just handed over a check for 250,000 euros.
