Dear all,
our attendance statistics for meeting 2005/2 has improved: already 21 delegates promised to attend (see attachment).
I'm still waiting for responses from some of you; see below. We might or should expect some 10 more attendees out of this sublist, in particular from the different Working Groups(!).
Concerning our meeting location, namely Wroclaw (a really wonderful city, you'll be delighted!), I found a really interesting comment in my absolutely favoured travel guide, i.e. the Lonely Planet, who describes one of Wroclaw's hotels (namely the hotel Monopol - this is not our hotel for the meeting) as follows: "Wroclaw's oldest hotel has seen quite a few famous faces in its century-plus lifetime, not least a certain Herr Hitler, who used to rant from the balcony during the German occupation." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "During the German occupation" of a town who came 1741 to Prussia after having been in the Habsburg empire for more than two centuries..." Who said that history can be interpreted differently depending on the viewpoint of the historian? ;-) ;-) ;-)
Best wishes Otto
