Join us for Community Connections this month as we mark the 30th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Join us for Community Connections this month as we mark the 30th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a presentation by Kelly Lao, Executive Director of the German American Heritage Center & Museum (GAHC). The program will focus on the history of the Berlin Wall that partitioned East and West Germany from 1961-1989. Kelly's presentation will feature stories about escape from East Germany, stories of the East German secret police, the "Stasi", and how the wall developed over time. The presentation will also be supplemented with photos and displays from previous GAHC exhibits. 

Kelly Lao is the executive director of the German American Heritage Center in Davenport. She has her MA in  Museum Studies from Western Illinois University and BA from University of Iowa in Anthropology. She lives in Rock Island with her husband and three children.

Community Connections is sponsored by the Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library. Registration is not required.
