SUMMARY:Out of the Darkness - In Conversation with Professor Frank Trentmann
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday 7 November from 6.30pm GMT at the London School of Economics for a conversation between our Chairman Peter Barnes and Professor Frank Trentmann on his new book Out of the Darkness: The Germans\, 1942–2022\, a groundbreaking new history of the people at the centre of Europe\, from the Second World War to today. \nIn this book Trentmann tells the dramatic story of the Germans from the middle of the Second World War\, through the Cold War and the division into East and West\, to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunited nation’s search for a place in the world. Their journey is marked by extraordinary moral struggles: guilt\, shame and limited amends; wealth versus welfare; tolerance versus racism; compassion and complicity. Through a range of voices – German soldiers and German Jews; environmentalists and coal miners; families and churches; volunteers\, migrants and populists – Trentmann paints a remarkable and surprising portrait over 80 years of the conflicted people at the centre of Europe. \nThe event will be hosted jointly with the LSESU German Society. \nFrank Trentmann is Professor of History at Birkbeck\, University of London\, and at the University of Helsinki. He is the author of Empire of Things and Free Trade Nation\, was a Moore Scholar at Caltech and has been awarded the Whitfield Prize\, the Austrian Science Book Prize\, the Humboldt Prize for Research and the 2023 Bochum Historians’ Prize. He grew up in Hamburg and lives in London. \nA recording of this event is available below. \n

SUMMARY:German Baking - In Conversation with Jürgen Krauss
DESCRIPTION:Ready to impress with your Lebkuchen\, Weihnachtsplätzchen and Stollen baking skills? On Wednesday 29 November from 6.30 to 7.30pm on Zoom we are joined by Jürgen Krauss for a talk on German baking. \nJürgen was the star of Bake Off 2021\, his semi-finals departure triggering over 100 complaints from dismayed viewers. His love for baking began during his childhood in the Black Forest. His travels across Europe\, before settling in Brighton\, UK\, widened his culinary influences\, but also gave him the yearning to master German bread-making\, the perfect showcase for both his technical precision and creative flavours. \nIn August\, Jürgen’s cook book German Baking – Cakes\, tarts\, traybakes and breads from the Black Forest and beyond came out. According to the publisher this fool-proof collection of recipes is a must-have for his many fans and provides delicious inspiration for any time of day and any occasion. In this online discussion\, he will take us through some of the recipes and discuss his love for all things baked. \nJürgen will be in discussion with Luisa Weiss. She is the author of Classic German Baking (2016) and the upcoming Classic German Cooking (10/24). Her memoir My Berlin Kitchen was published in 2012. She is the author of the Letter from Berlin newsletter on Substack. Luisa lives in Berlin with her husband and two sons. \nYou can watch the event video here: \n
