Last Letters: The Prison Correspondence

1944-45 between Freya and Helmuth Von Moltke

Monday, January 25 at 7:15pm

Commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day

with letters brought to life by Johannes von Moltke and Dorothea von Moltke,

the grandchildren of Freya and Helmuth Moltke.

It is September 1944 in Berlin. Helmuth von Moltke is in prison awaiting trial and presumably execution for his opposition to the dictatorship. The Nazis are unaware that the prison chaplain is smuggling letters between Helmuth and his wife Freya. The two write almost daily sharing their fears, emotions and experiences until January 1945 when he is tried, found guilty and executed.
