Amanda Rubin, documentary filmmaker and journalist, has brought The Third Reich of Dreams, a long-overlooked classic back to print in a newly-translated English edition (Princeton Press, 2025). Her Mortenson Distinguished Lecture will share Beradt’s incredible untold story and legacy of courage as a woman, journalist, and refugee. This hybrid lecture will focus on the power of the irrepressible imagination and the potent symbolism of books, writing and archiving as “witnesses to history” and will be followed by a reception and book signing.
