Event Description
November 9th, 1989: The day that brought down communism -- the collapse of the Berlin Wall
Dr. Oliver Schmidtke
In almost every decade there is a day that changes everything. Because of the events of these days, the world would never be the same. Each month in this series of café historique, a different UVic historian will introduce one such day in their area of expertise, the events that led up to it, and how the events that followed transformed history and ultimately our world today. And then we open the floor for discussion and conversation...
Tickets: Café historique is free and open to the public but to avoid being turned away, tickets should be reserved - http://www.eventbrite.ca/e/cafe-historique-tickets-9684018159
