NOVA: Escape from Nazi Alcatraz : Burg Colditz

Select WGBH as your PBS channel, and tune into a memorable reenactment


HIER IST DER GANZ INTERESSANTER FILM  über Burg Colditz

At Colditz, there was one guard for every prisoner.
,,Für Sie, der Krieg ist vorbei."

-- The English boarding school situation will have prepared them all for escaping prison.


Somehow, I am especially enamored of the hand-built waddling ducks shown in the final frames.

WICKED, auf Deutsch

Have you ever heard of singer, Willemijn Verkaik? She's from Holland, and is the star of the German production of WICKED, which continues to sell out in Stuttgart, Germany. Does this program translate well? You bet! All the emotion is conveyed, and then some.



I doubt if you'll regret checking the clip from the popular TV Show, Wetten Das! (You Bet!) It begins with "Nur ein Tag ... in der grünen Smaragd-Stadt" (One Short Tag... in Emerald City") and moves into "Frei und Schwerelos" ("Defying Gravity"). Check it out; you are in for a treat!

Deutsch-heute:

die Smaragdstadt = ___________________ ?

Heute bin ich so froh, ich fühle mich fast schwerelos . = __________________________________________.

In welcher Stadt in Deutschland kann man im Theater das musikalisches Stück, WICKED, sehen? _____________
