ELSE JOCHEM. DIE FRAU MIT DER SEIFENKISTE

Else Jochem: "...the masses don't become rebellious, they duck!"

In November 1934, the Gestapo struck a heavy blow against the communist and social-democratic resistance movement in Oberhausen and Mülheim. Numerous anti-fascists were arrested, including trade unionist, SPD politician and miner Heinrich Jochem. His wife Else was not arrested. She took over her husband's mobile soap selling activities, which became the perfect opportunity to continue the anti-fascist resistance. vorschlag:hammer stage this true story as an epic narrative and a parable for the present.

Anlässlich des 8. Mai und der Premiere von DIE FRAU MIT DER SEIFENKISTE – BERICHTE VON MENSCHEN IM WIDERSTAND beschäftigen wir uns mit der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart des Widerstands gegen rechte Strukturen. In diesem Zusammenhang finden eine Woche lang verschiedene Veranstaltungen statt.
