Mrs. Dr.Wiebke Janssen is the new head of Moritzplatz Document Centre, sponsored by “Bürgerkomitee Magdeburg e.V.” . Motivated by positive reports in the local newspaper “Magdeburger Volksstimme“, we contacted Mrs. Janssen to ask her to give a presentation to our students.
Her dissertation titled “Teenage yobs and beatniks in East Germany of the 50s”, gives an ideal piece of authentic information to modern day history lessons today. The new guide lines of our state require the teaching of exactly that time and aspect of German history in the classroom.
