MCHE Lunch and Learn: RESIST

THE COUNTERFEIT COUNTESS – In this final session we will discuss the book The Counterfeit Countess. We will consider how the actions described in the book relate to previous forms of resistance covered in this class.

Part 5 of the Fall 2024 Lunch and Learn offered on Zoom.

Once democracy has been destroyed, ordinary citizens must ask themselves what next? In these cases, individuals have differing options and agency depending on their position and particular privilege. For some this might mean taking a different route in daily life to avoid giving the Nazi salute, while others might engage in acts of sabotage or armed revolt. This five-week course, taught by MCHE Historian Dr. Shelly Cline will detail courses of action available and taken by those under Nazi control.
