At 4 p.m. in the church in Bělá/Biela, the Saxon mountaineering choir “Kurt Schlosser” will sing mountain and folk songs under the baton of choir director Axel Langmann and conductor Christian Garbosnik. The choir also has historical connections to the venue of the concert: In Bělá (Biela), a district of Děčín (Tetschen), a secret printing press is said to have stood in the 1930s, on which Red Mountaineers reproduced anti-fascist propaganda material and used it to fight against the National Socialists.

At 5:30 p.m. the film “Bankflutter” will be presented, which shows the results of a Saxon-Bohemian search for clues by children and young people from “Aktion Ameise” in Dresden-Briesnitz about the resistance against National Socialism and which the young people produced themselves.

Last year, the boys and girls did research on the "Red Mountaineers", whose secret printing press was in Bělá/Biela during the 1930s. Anti-fascist propaganda material was reproduced on it. Today it is in the inventory of Königstein Fortress. Many members of the "Red Mountain Climbers" were politically active 85 years ago and committed against National Socialism. Quite a few were later imprisoned or even paid with their lives, including the choir director at the time, Kurt Schlosser. The choir named after him still refers to the anti-fascist legacy today.

"We hope for new neighborly perspectives," says co-organizer René Hermann. “We want to offer new contact areas for the exchange between Saxony and Bohemia.” Karl Stein from the Czech side says: “I always enjoy working with René Hermann and the young people from Saxony over the years. However, it is difficult for the children from Northern Bohemia to make closer contacts, especially because of the language barrier. In any case, this opens up new opportunities for cooperation.”
