In the organizer's words:

Behind the mask of evil. True crime from an insider.

Tickets for Behind the Mask of Evil on 11.04.2026 in Gleis9, Bochum | Ticket-Shop

Jens Söring is known as the German diplomat's son who spent 33 innocent years in US custody. There is a Netflix series about his case, but this evening is not about him. Instead, he talks about his most famous fellow prisoners:

> the terrorist who carried out the biggest terrorist attack before September 11.

> the bank robber who carried out the biggest robbery in world history.

> the first man in Virginia to be convicted of murder - without a body.

Jens Söring got to know these men at close quarters when he spent 33 years behind bars in Great Britain and the USA. They told him things that they could not tell investigators, lawyers and prison psychologists. In the years they lived together, he saw the human side of the criminals and looked behind the mask of evil.

As always, the lecture will be followed by an open question and answer session.

The whole evening lasts about 3 hours, at the end there will be the opportunity to buy books and take photos.
