Dr. Gail Finney, Professor Emerita of Comparative Literature and German
“It has been eye-opening to explore a rich range of German films at the Gerlind film evenings, where the level of discussion is strikingly high. I come away from those discussions informed and invigorated. The oral history series is comparably stimulating, offering personal testimonies by speakers whose experience with Germany has profoundly marked them and who in turn leave their listeners educated and enriched.”
