On May 11, 2026, the advanced French course had the opportunity to attend the commemorative event at the French Embassy in Berlin (conducted in French, of course) marking the 85th anniversary of the "Rafle du billet vert."
The "Rafle du billet vert" was a mass arrest of Jews in German-occupied Paris during World War II. Many of them were later deported to Auschwitz and murdered there. The name of the event comes from the green tickets used as summon cards or slips.
