SUMMARY:Author Talk with Adam Brookes\, Author of Fragile Cargo
DESCRIPTION:“Wars not only put individual lives at risk\, but entire cultures. From Ukraine to Iraq to Afghanistan\, we’ve grown used to seeing images of looted museums\, obliterated landmarks\, and broken artifacts. The theft of important works of art in Western Europe by the Nazis during World War II has been widely documented. Less well-known—and told here for the first time in English—is the astounding true story of the efforts in China to protect one of the greatest art collections in the world from almost certain destruction.” \nIn Fragile Cargo: The World War II Race to Save the Treasures of the Forbidden City\, journalist Adam Brookes gives readers the gripping true story of the bold and determined museum curators who saved the priceless treasures of China’s Forbidden City in the years leading up to World War II and beyond. \nAbout the Author\nAdam Brookes was born in Canada and grew up in the United Kingdom. For many years he was a journalist for BBC News\, working as a correspondent in Beijing\, as well as in Indonesia and the United States. He lives in Takoma Park\, Maryland.

SUMMARY:Ambassador Briefing: South Africa as Atlanta’s Gateway to African Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the South African Chamber USA\, Global Atlanta\, and Metro Atlanta Chamber\, join the Ambassador of South Africa for a business roundtable. \nWith large diaspora communities\, engaged corporations and convenient flight links\, Atlanta has long made its case as a launchpad for a U.S. push to deepen trade and investment links to Africa. No country has a better claim as the preferred gateway than South Africa\, the continent’s second largest economy and undisputed leader in banking\, finance and manufacturing. \nJoin the SA Chamber USA and Global Atlanta at the Metro Atlanta Chamber for an in-depth discussion with Her Excellency Nomaindiya C. Mfeketo\, South Africa’s ambassador to the United States\, to understand how companies can use South Africa as a platform for sub-Saharan expansion at a time of intensifying trade integration\, tech growth\, agricultural innovation\, infrastructure development and middle-class prosperity across Africa’s 55 distinct markets. \nThe interactive conversation with Managing Editor Trevor Williams will explore civil and human rights links that add vitality\, historical texture and a sense of shared purpose to the South Africa-Atlanta commercial relationship. We’ll also look at examples of successful cross-border partnerships on both the government and private-sector fronts. \nAbout Ambassador Nomaindiya Cathleen Mfeketo\nAmbassador Nomaindiya Cathleen Mfeketo\nNomaindiya Cathleen Mfeketo is South African Ambassador to the United States since March 2020. \nSocial injustice and the brutality of the Apartheid system motivated Nomaindiya to enter into active politics at a tender age of 23. Nomaindiya played a critical role in post 1976 family support of detained students leading to active engagement with a number of non-governmental organisations (NGO) including the agricultural training NGO ZAKH\, the Social Change Assistance Trust (SCAT) and the Development Action Group (DAG) focused mainly on a public housing project \nNomaindiya served as South Africa’s Minister of Human Settlements (2018 – 2019) and Deputy Minister of the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (2014 – 2018) a role in which she worked closely on the Palestine question\, the Middle East Peace Process and BRICS. \nNomaindiya has had an extensive career within the South African Government and has served as the Deputy Speaker of Parliament in South Africa’s fourth Parliament and as the first black woman Mayor of the City of Cape Town. Nomaindiya has an extensive understanding and experience of South Africa’s transition to a multiparty democracy in 1994 and played a critical role within the conflict resolution negotiations between 1993 and 1996. \nNomaindiya has been a member of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) since 2007 to date and serves on the National Working Committee. \nShe has a keen interest in social justice issues and the alleviation of poverty in South Africa. \nNomaindiya attended school in Cape Town\, South Africa and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Law by the University of Cape Town in 2000.

SUMMARY:Black History Month 2023 - The Power of Storytelling (Virtual Book Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Every February\, Black History Month recognizes the accomplishments\, contributions\, and legacy of African Americans in U.S. history and society\, from activists and civil rights pioneers to leaders in business\, politics\, academia\, culture\, and more. \nThe Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta regularly engages in the Black History Month celebrations to honor the importance of African Americans in shaping the American nation. This year\, we want to highlight the transformative power of storytelling and its potential to raise awareness and bring about change for a social cause. Throughout human history\, stories and narratives have been an essential way of connecting with an audience and appealing to hearts and minds. They enable us to understand a different experience of the world\, and thus enhance our empathy. In the struggle for social justice and equality\, storytelling was\, and still is\, of particular importance to the history of Black people. \nIn this context\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta organizes a virtual book discussion on the book “I will be different every time: Black Women in Biel” on February 23\, 2023\, 1pm-2pm EST. \nIn collaboration with the Auburn Avenue Research Library\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta will virtually host Fork Burke (Editor) and Myriam Diarra (Editor) who\, in conversation with Dr. Stephane Dunn\, will discuss their latest publication “I will be different every time: Black Women in Biel”. They will provide an insider look into their book which explores the historical and contemporary lived experiences of Black women from the town of Biel/Bienne [Switzerland]. In addition to shedding light on this extraordinary part of the global Black diaspora\, Fork Burke and Myriam Diarra will speak on the importance of storytelling and share ideas on the legacy writing process that preserves the histories of the Black diaspora for future generations.

SUMMARY:FILM: Let Us Die
DESCRIPTION:On the eve of the anniversary of the Russian invasion in Ukraine\, join Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta for the exclusive screening of “Let us Die”. \nAs a young man in the late 1980s\, Tim Mallad\, purchased an old\, beaten-up desk in Dallas. Inside\, he found an old British Passport\, black and white photographs\, a letter from Tel Aviv\, international air mail from the 1950s\, and a collection of fragile letters that were written in German at the end of World War II. This finding is the unlikely beginning of a story that ultimately led into the darkness of war crimes in the city of Neustrelitz at the time of Germany’s liberation from the Nazi regime – and that led Frank Pringham\, great grandnephew of Thomas Mann\, into a chapter of his family history previously unknown. \nGeothe-Zentrum welcomes Mr. Frank Pringham to join for the showing of the documentary\, inaugurating the new screening equipment at the new center. \nGeneral Public: $10 per person\nMembers: FREE

How effective will these sanctions be at convincing Russia to cease its war? \nSpeaker: Dr. Stephen Collins\, Kennesaw State University \nPlease note\, topics and speakers are subject to change dates. \nGreat Decisions\, presented by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA)\, highlights the most thought-provoking foreign policy challenges facing Americans each year.

For this reason\, the current operator of the Airport ( SACSA) is interested in identifying U.S. providers interested in the project. \nCartagena\, a major tourist destination in Colombia\, urgently needs to expand its current airport (Rafael Nuñez) to meet rapidly growing national and international demand. \nThe Rafael Núñez airport currently services 6 million passengers per year\, representing a 128% increase compared to 2019.
