Proposal to name a street in Berlin for a magician

Postby Richard Hatch » March 4th, 2021, 2:21 pm

There is a zoom meeting tomorrow at 6 p.m. Berlin time (noon East Coast Time) about changing the name of Wissmannstrasse in Berlin. The Magic Circle of Berlin will be proposing that it be changed to Günther-Damann-Strasse. Dammann wrote three books while living with his family on this street, including an important history of Jewish magicians, sadly becoming a victim (along with his two brothers) of the Holocaust less than a decade later. If you are interested in attending the meeting to lend support to this cause, this page has the zoom link: https://www.berlin.de/ba-charlottenburg-wilmersdorf/politik/buergerbeteiligung/aktuelle-projekte/umbenennung-wissmannstrasse/
