All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days: A Conversation with Rebecca Donner and Adina Grossmann

Deutsches Haus at NYU presents a conversation with Rebecca Donner and Atina Grossmann about Donner’s new book “All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days: The True Story of the American Woman at the Heart of the German Resistance to Hitler,” which tells the story of Mildred Harnack – Donner’s great-great-aunt – an American scholar in Berlin who headed an underground resistance group against Nazi rule. The conversation will focus on Harnack’s remarkable story, meticulously researched in East German, Soviet and American archives and supplemented with family lore, and what lasting lessons we can draw from Harnack’s acts of resistance today.
