Great granddaughter of Richard Wagner visits Island
The life and times of internees in the Second World War will be explored in a series of events this weekend, with emphasis on a very famous name.
The Erin Arts Centre in Port Erin is playing host first to a talk by Dr Chris Rieger, who spent his childhood interned in the south of the Island, from 11am (Sat).
Then at 7:30pm, another presentation by Professor Eva Rieger and Dagny Beilder will look back on the life of internee Friedelind Wagner - the granddaughter of legendary composer Richard Wagner.
Ms. Beilder, granddaughter of Friedlind, recalls what Island life was like for anti-Nazi Germans:
Study finds Isle of Man's clothing offering rates poorly for women
Charity implores people to 'adopt responsibly' as it faces capacity issues
'Poor prospect' for qualifying this evening
Positive response to decision to let dogs on beach all year
