Colloquium Presentation: "A Filmmaker and Refugee: Kurt Gerron's Time in Amsterdam and Westerbork"
Brad Prager - University of Missouri


Kurt Gerron was a star of stage and screen, known for Weimar-era classics like "Threepenny Opera" and "The Blue Angel." What can a closer look at Gerron's biography tell us about the Holocaust, about the fates of others like him, and about the experiences of exile and imprisonment?
