Panel discussion with Sophie Nübling, Niels Schröder and Andreas Wilkens

For many decades, women's resistance to National Socialism received little attention in academia and the public. Nevertheless, numerous women - whether in resistance groups or through individual activities - were active in the fight against the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. The recent strong growth in interest in this topic was recently demonstrated by the great success of a corresponding exhibition at the German Resistance Memorial Center.



Using three selected biographies as an example, the panel discussion examines specifically female experiences of resistance during the period of National Socialist rule and how the view of science and society has changed over the course of the eight decades since the end of the Second World War.


When and how did women's resistance also become the focus of research and the public? And what is the current situation regarding the presence, representation and "framing" of female resistance biographies in historical-political education, in exhibitions, but also in the media and journalism?


After three impulses from the Lübeck colleague Sophie Nübling on Willy Brandt's first partner, the SAP politician Gertrud Meyer (1914-2002), the historian Andreas Wilkens, who teaches in France, on the socialist and journalist Hilda Monte (1914-1945) and the author and illustrator Niels Schröder on the SPD politician and journalist Tony Sender (1888-1964), the three guests discuss together with Kristina Meyer and the audience.
