Testimonial von Ernst Löschner für Michael Kerbler

There are well over a thousand people having experienced the Krimml Peace Dialogues and can therefore testify to what has always impressed me in Michael Kerbler: his well-founded preparation for every conversation or presentation, and his talent for moderation of discussions. Like almost no other, he has grasped and passed on the connections that force people to flee. That the discussions of the panelists at the Krimml Peace Dialogues, which Michael co-organized many years and moderated with his special empathy, was always alive, was his great merit. Again and again he was able to win great personalities as lecturers like Ilija Trojanow and Najem Wali.
For many years he served on the board of APC, and also at the big event in May 2017, APC had organized together with the Kreisky Forum and ORF III, addressing 70 Years of Jewish Exodus Krimml, he moderated the entire event. His experience, his empathy for those seeking protection and his historical knowledge characterize his words.
It is very important to me to thank Michael for being one of the founders of Tree # 43 dedicated to you.
