The forgotten interview

Sometimes I forget things … forget things I did … forget I did something.

Occasionally, I post videos and webpages that I found. Some of these resources, some of my memories have something to do with GenAI or AI in general, others don’t. This one doesn’t.

It looks like a contradiction in terms: a written interview (which I completely forgot) on an Oral History Project.

Aurelia Ohlendorf interviewed me for the Goethe Institute Canada:  https://www.goethe.de/ins/ca/en/kul/loe/sup/woc/20959804.html and helped to promote our project at the University of Waterloo. The Oral History Project was supported by the Waterloo Centre for German Studies and also financially by a number of German-Canadians from Waterloo Region. We had the opportunity to interview 126 German immigrants to Canada who made a life in Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, or any of the smaller towns or villages nearby. The book retelling their stories and that history is still available.
