The Jewish Museum exhibit about Mildred Fish Harnack

This August, The Jewish Museum is launching an exhibit about

Mildred Fish Harnack

—the only American woman killed on direct order of Adolph Hitler.

She was born in Milwaukee and went to University of Wisconsin Madison.

She was involved in the German Resistance group, The Red Orchestra.

This exhibit was designed by German artist Franz Rudolph Knuebel and relies on rubbings of the floor of the prison where Mildred was held and executed, and more.

I am facilitating a Teacher Workshop on the morning of August 11

to promote the exhibit and show teachers ways of using the exhibit and its materials with their classes. I will give them the opportunity to do art n this workshop,

utilizing the same rubbing technique that Knuebel employed.
