Games and Learning: Rosenstrasse

Join the campus Games Interest group as we play through a session of the role-playing game Rosenstrasse. This game explores the erosion of Jewish civil liberties during World War II. It has a strongly defined historical story weaving the lives of four pairs of men and women bound by love under the tightening chokehold of Nazi Germany that are explored by the players. Come and play or observe and see how games and history can bring about emotional experiences that can help inform our present.

This program will be held in Charles Library room 322, located in the Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio.
