OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join Mansfield College and the Adam von Trott Committee for a film screening of ‘Freya – Love in the Time of Resistance’ (in German with English subtitles). Freya was the widow of Helmuth James von Moltke, and the screening will be attended and introduced by their eldest son, Helmuth Caspar.
“I saw him and my heart stood still.” 18-year-old Freya Deichmann meets Helmuth James von Moltke in the summer of 1929. He is the love of her life, which must prove itself under the challenging conditions of the Third Reich. The story builds to a dramatic climax, wavering between hope and final separation. Helmuth James is imprisoned, everyday could be the last. Their big luck: the prison chaplain, a good friend, was able to smuggle almost daily letters in and out of prison. A love in the time of resistance, that doesn’t end even with the execution of the loved one.
