Historian Sofie Lene Bak takes a close look at the complicated life and fate of Olga Eggers. Once a well-loved campaigner for women's rights and peace, Eggers later became one of the most notorious Nazi figures of the occupation years, editing the viciously antisemitic journal Kamptegnet and serving as a fierce front figure in the Danish Anti-Jewish League.
Bak is a historian who has researched the history of antisemitism. She published the biography "Trods og tragedie. En biografi om Olga Eggers" in 2025, and this evening builds on that work. The event is part of the Historieklubben på Amager series, but everyone is welcome and no membership is needed.
