If Part 1 was opera-meets-airwaves, Part 2 is prison floors, crushed dreams, and resistance at eye level. Literally – Eva's forbidden love with Alice survived thanks to stolen glances through a bakery window while Berlin rotted under Nazi boots. Branded “predominantly Jewish,” shoved into prison, concussed in wooden clogs, and haunted by loss – Eva saw Alice and her sister deported to Auschwitz after their safe house was exposed. She never saw them again. Post-war Germany? Not exactly a warm welcome. Eva's health collapsed, her career stalled, and anonymous "Heil Germany" notes decorated her door. Oh, and her intellectual pen-pal ghosted her over a lesbian manuscript. Classic. She called Germany a “tormenting country” and herself an "all-round complainer" – but let's be honest: she earned it. Today, we remember Eva thanks to historians who finally gave this fierce, flawed, fabulous woman the digital memorial she deserved. Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!

Mirabel and Natalie from LUCA (Luxembourg Center for Architecture) joined the Breakfast Show to discuss Lisières Vivantes (Living Thresholds), a thought-provoking new exhibition examining how humans, animals, and plants coexist in urban environments. Now open at LUCA, the exhibition invites visitors to reimagine cityscapes not solely as spaces for human activity, but as dynamic ecosystems shared with non-human life. Through projects from the fields of architecture, urban planning and the visual arts, Lisières Vivantes explores how built environments can support biodiversity and promote coexistence. The exhibition highlights urban thresholds, like walls, gardens, and green belts, as vital zones of interaction between human and non-human species. One example focuses on the city's stone fortification walls, which have become vertical gardens, sheltering insects, birds and plant life. These intersections, Natalie explained, represent mutual territory that challenge the traditional separation between the built and the natural world. As part of LUCA's ongoing commitment to addressing climate and environmental issues through design, the exhibition also ties into the larger LUGA 2025 programme and raises questions about how the green spaces in Luxembourg City serve its wider ecosystem. The curators emphasise not just the quantity of green space, but its connectivity, highlighting the importance of corridors that allow species to move between habitats without interruption.

Cat from the Cinémathèque joined the Breakfast Show to share details about the return of Luxembourg's beloved open-air cinema series, set to begin on the 25th July in Place Guillaume II. With screenings curated by the Cinémathèque, this summer's programme promises a diverse mix of European cinema, Hollywood classics, and hidden gems, all shown under the stars in one of the city's most iconic squares. The open-air season opens with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator', chosen for its enduring political resonance and cinematic legacy. The line-up spans from 1940s classics like 'Sunset Boulevard' to modern Oscar-winner 'Flow', a dialogue-free animated film from Latvia. Audiences can also enjoy cult favourites such as The Big Lebowski', 'The Goonies', 'La La Land', 'Plein Soleil', and 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The films, shown in their original languages with English or French subtitles, are carefully selected to appeal to a wide range of tastes and generations. “We wanted to offer something for everyone,” Cat explained on air, noting the thoughtful blend of cinephile picks and crowd-pleasers. In addition to the outdoor screenings, the Cinémathèque will temporarily close its historic indoor cinema on the 1st August with a farewell series titled 'A Love Letter to Cinema', celebrating stories about filmmaking itself. This final programme will run through early September before the screening room temporarily closes for renovation. With over 25 years of experience in hosting open-air screenings, the Cinémathèque continues to play a central role in Luxembourg's cultural life. Full programme details and practical information can be found at www.cinematheque.lu

Rotondes' iconic Congés Annulés festival is back, promising a vibrant month-long celebration of music, community, and summer energy in Luxembourg City. Running from 25th July to 21st August, the event offers 28 consecutive days of live music and entertainment in the venue's lively courtyard and performance spaces. Marc from Rotondes joined the Breakfast Show to tell us more about the exciting line-up! The 2025 edition features a diverse musical lineup, including crowd-favourites like UK post-punk band Sprints, who are returning after a sold-out performance in 2022. As well, up-and-coming acts such as Full Flower and The Umlauts will be performing. Whether you're into indie rock, electronic beats or experimental sounds, the programme delivers an eclectic blend of styles, highlighting both international and local talent. A new addition to this year's programme is Family Sound System, a daytime event dedicated to younger audiences and their families. Taking place on Saturday 26th July, it will feature DJ sets, live music, and an interactive corner where parents and children can take to the decks together for a 10-minute DJ slot. Marc was surprised but happy to see that most people have opted to spin vinyl! Beyond the main performances, Congés Annulés maintains its signature laid-back atmosphere. Visitors are welcome to drop in from 6pm to enjoy drinks and DJ sets on the terrace, with many gigs remaining free or affordably priced. Food options include a new focus on freshly made pizza, available for lunch and dinner, replacing the former restaurant setup on-site. The festival's approachable format, diverse programming, and community spirit have made it a summer staple in Luxembourg's cultural calendar. Whether you're a music aficionado or just looking for a relaxed evening with good food and atmosphere, Congés Annulés offers something for everyone.
