Reflections on the Life of My Father, Johan Huizinga
Saturday, May 5 @3pm
Dutch historian Johan Huizinga is considered to be one of the
great historians of the 20th century. In the 1930s, he became famous as a cultural critic and fierce opponent of Nazi ideology. During that same time, Huizinga was a mentor to the Dutch Crown Princess, who later became Queen. He was taken hostage during WWII and served time in 'Hitler's Gentlemen's Prison.' Huizinga died just before the end of WWII when his daughter Laura Conley was 3 years old. In her talk, Laura will discuss Huizinga's US visit in the 1920s and his existence during the war years when her family was hiding refugees.
