‘Bratman Returns’ – a general session where Brats are welcomed and focus is given on their questions, led by OVERSEAS BRATS President, Joe Condrill.

‘It’s A Brat’s Life’ – a wonderful presentation about different aspects about our heritage that stand out.  Brat (Nurnberg) couple Andy & Sherry Branch Havner make this into a fun and meaningful topic.

‘Brown Babies:  The Mischlingskinder Story’ – Explores a topic few Brats know about and hosted by a Mischlingskinder, Peter Grammer.
