We are privileged that Dr. George Jürgen Wittenstein, a participant in two resistance groups against Hitler's National-Socialist regime, lives in our community. Jürgen Wittenstein was actively involved in the Weisse Rose (White Rose) and the Freiheitsaktion Bayern (Freedom Action Bavaria).
Named in honor of Dr. Wittenstein, our series will sponsor several lectures each year by prominent scholars in the humanities to preserve and continue his ligacy of civic courage and commitment.
