Mimmi Woisnitza delivers a lecture on the writing practice of author Elfriede Brüning, focusing on her antifascist roots and her novel '... damit du weiterlebst'. The talk explores Brüning's portrayal of women in resistance and post-war life, contrasting their survival stories with official DDR narratives. Woisnitza, a researcher in philosophy and art science, examines how Brüning preserved voices often excluded from state history. This event is aimed at readers interested in German literature, history, and feminist perspectives.
