The Last Lesson addresses the persecution of students in the GDR and Czechoslovakia, based on conversations with contemporary witnesses. It was created as part of a project by the European Academy Berlin.

I was happy to contribute to the anthology with the book design, the cover illustration, and a short story titled „Drei Jans,“ which was developed in collaboration with a group of students.
