Dear friends,
our international annual meeting will take place from 25th till 27th August 2023.
The theme will be: “The XII. International Brigade – the Defenders of Freedom Have Answered the Call of the Threatened Republic.”
There will again be interesting lectures on this topic, and our exhibition will be expanded to include information on the XII. Brigade.
We hope to welcome many members and friends of the KFSR, both from Germany and from abroad.
On Friday and Saturday our events will take place at: Franz-Mehring-Platz 1, 10243 Berlin (FMP1) in the Neues Deutschland-building.
