Jennifer Coburn, author of Cradles of the Reich,  will be presenting her newest novel, The Girls of the Glimmer Factory. A poignant and inspiring tale of resistance, friendship, and the dangers of propaganda.

Hannah is a Jewish prisoner at Theresienstadt, where the Nazis plan to make a propaganda film to convince the world that the Jewish people are living well in the camps.  Hannah’s former friend, Hilde, is a true believer in the Nazi cause, working in the Reich Ministry of Enlightenment and Propaganda.  When the two face off, they discover who they truly are—and who they are meant to become.
