For Alumns

We are very proud of the members of past project years and grateful for their many important contributions to its success. We hope that everyone will stay involved in the larger project. In addition to the listserv that remains active, this page of the website is meant for our "alumns," including the faculty members affiliated with the project. Please send anything you would like posted to Mark Webber.

Jörg Ehrnsberger and Johannes Heger

Two of TftF's members from the 2001-2002 group, Jörg Ehrnsberger and Johannes Heger, developed a concept for creative writing workshops "Wider das Vergessen" ("Against Forgetting") as their TftF project, and have been conducting them in various parts of Germany ever since. These extremely successful workshops are described in some detail in the Shoah.de website under the url: http://www.shoa.de/content/view/229/45/ .
