Topic: Applying for German Naturalization – Carol will share her experience applying for German naturalization, based on Article 116, paragraph 2 of the German Basic Law. This law allows descendants of Germans, who lost their citizenship during the 1933 to 1945 time period, to receive German naturalization. It is also a story of how a person’s birthplace can shape their life and that of their descendants.
Speaker: Carol Shafer is a first generation American on her mother’s side. Currently, she is an English as a Second Language teacher at City University in Seattle and has worked for the government, in the private sector and in education.
