Award-winning historian of Modern Europe and Associate Professor of History at George Mason University, Samuel Huneke will talk on his new book, I Will Not Abandon You. The book shows how love, queer resistance, and collective action survived in the harrowing circumstances of Nazi rule. Drawing on a decade of archival research, Huneke takes readers into a hidden world, from the wartime balls that lesbian activists continued to organize to the concentration camps where women accused of loving women were imprisoned.
