Mimmi Woisnitza delivers a lecture on writer Elfriede Brüning and her 1949 novel. The talk explores Brüning's antifascist writing practice and contrasts the story of Hanns and Hilde Coppi with that of Lotte Burkhardt. It examines how state-enforced narratives in the GDR obscured women's experiences. The event lasts about one hour.
