The Shame of Survival: Working Through a Nazi Childhood

Professor Ursula Mahlendorf, Professor Emerita of the Department of Germanic, Slavic and Semitic Studies and a founder of the Feminist Studies Department at UCSB, will offer a reading from her memoir published this spring about her childhood in Silesia and her early adolescent membership in the Hitler Youth. Publisher’s Weekly calls it “An eye-opening, honest and absorbing account of how evil takes root and flourishes among ordinary people.”

Sponsored by the Senior Women’s Council and the Department of Feminist Studies.
