Charlotte Self, a resident of Hendersonville, NC, was born in Germany and grew up in Hitler's Third Reich. Her mother, a physician in private practice and a dedicated Social Democrat, was one of the most active members of the Resistance in the area. After November 9, 1938, "Crystal Night", the Horror-Pogrom against the Jews, Charlotte became her mother's partner and confidant. She was 12 years old. Outwardly, she led the life of a "normal" teenager. In the shadows, she became a courier for the Underground and helped her mother take care of patients and refugees in hiding. Her talk will be about this double life.
