What can Berliners’ dreams under Nazi rule teach us about life-writing in our increasingly authoritarian present?

Filmmaker Amanda Rubin-Lewis and writer Devorah Baum discuss The Third Reich of Dreams, Charlotte Beradt’s clandestine archive of Berliners’ dreams under Nazism, newly republished by Princeton University Press.

Praised by Zadie Smith as ‘Essential reading for anyone who has known what it is like to live within a totalitarian state—or is worried they’re about to find out’, this collection—assembled at great personal risk—stands as both testimony and warning, a seismograph of history registering the tremors of totalitarianism in the minds of those who lived it.

Open to all. Registration recommended (required for online attendance).
