Now it's more important than ever to show farmers that we care about
local food and sustainability~! So bring your friends, and maybe do a
harvest feast in your dorm!

If you bring an old blank t-shirt (or canvas tote or whatever), we'll
provide the paint and stencils to put our NaturaLiving logo on your
shirt!!! Become part of the movement!

B10. "Working Through a Nazi Childhood"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 12, 2009 - 12:00PM Faculty Club
The Center for German and European Studies presents a Jewish-German
Dialogue with Ursula Mahlendorf
http://www.brandeis.edu/cges/news/upcomingevents/index.html
Ursula Mahlendorf will discuss her latest work, "The Shame of Survival:
Working through a Nazi Childhood." In writing the novel, Mahlendorf drew
upon on her own experiences as well as her research in teaching students
about how Germans and German writers deal with their Nazi past.
“Rare are the accounts of what growing up in Nazi Germany was like for
people who were reared to think of Adolf Hitler as the savior of his
country, and rarer still are accounts written from a female
perspective," said Anna Kuhn, University of California, Davis. "This
book is a compelling memoir of a girl’s experiences growing up in Nazi
Germany that analyzes the lifelong implications of Nazi indoctrination
on a sensitive, thoughtful young woman.”
Mahlendorf is a professor emerita of German, Slavic and Semitic Studies
at the German department and Women’s Studies Program at the University
of California, Santa Barbara.
Lunch will be served. Please RSVP.
