  • VIRTUAL TALK: “An Atlas of Extinct Countries” with Gideon Defoe

    Cultural Center 55 Palmer Avenue, Falmouth, MA, United States

    Countries die. Sometimes it’s murder, sometimes it’s by accident, and sometimes it’s because they were so ludicrous, they didn’t deserve to exist in the first place. Occasionally they explode violently. A few slip away almost unnoticed. Often the cause of death is either “got too greedy” or “Napoleon turned up.” Now and then they just hold a referendum and vote themselves out of existence.

  • CANCELLED-VIRTUAL TALK: “All the Frequent Trouble of Our Days” with Rebecca Donner

    In 1932, Mildred Harnick began holding secret meetings in her apartment.  Together, this small band of political activists wrote leaflets that denounced Hitler and called for revolution. Under the cover of night, they slipped the leaflets into mailboxes, public restrooms, and phone booths around Berlin. Mildred also began helping  Jews escape, plotting acts of sabotage, and recruiting more and more working class Germans to the cause.  By 1940, hers was the largest underground resistance group in Berlin.
