Join David Lascelles, 8th Earl of Harewood, for a special In Conversation event as he discusses his new book, exploring a remarkable story from his family’s history set against the final days of the Second World War.

Out of Colditz blends personal family history with the wider events of the time, the book examines the extraordinary and complex story of Gottlob Berger, a senior figure within the Nazi regime who played an unexpected role in saving the life of David’s father, George Lascelles, then heir to the Harewood title.

Through this deeply personal account, David reflects on memory, history and the challenges of understanding the past, bringing together family archives and historical research to uncover a little-known chapter in Harewood’s story.
