This year’s “Campus Weeks” – sponsored by the German Embassy Washington – presents a series of events directed at undergraduates at US universities and colleges. This year’s topic “Shaping Germany” focuses on the internal factors that are contributing to what Germany will look like in 20, 30 or 50 years. Events include a lecture series with national and international presenters, a bi-weekly film series on the topic of migration, and a self-guided poster exhibit. Marcel Rotter presents eight ordinary East German objects and discusses how they illustrate the different facets of daily life in East Germany.
