Author Talk & Signing w/ Sheila Isenberg "Muriel's War: An American Heiress in the Nazi Resistance"

Louis Posner Memorial Library
SUNDAYS @ THE CENTER

Who was Muriel Gardiner? She was the remarkable woman who inspired Lillian Hellman's Julia. She was a product of Chicago's high society and daughter of a dynasty of millionaire meat packers. Most importantly, she was the benefactor of countless WWII refugees, a daring woman who smuggled passports and money and offered her home as a safe house for anti-Fascist dissidents. Meet the author as she tells in an illustrated lecture the true story of a woman who gave all she had to make the world a better place.
