About The Mildred Fish Harnack Lecture:
The Mildred Fish-Harnack Human Rights and Democracy Lecture is named after a Milwaukee native who was a
UW–Madison student in the 1920s. While living in Germany, Fish-Harnack assisted in the escape of German Jews
and political dissidents. She is the only American civilian executed under the personal instruction of Adolf Hitler for
her resistance to the Nazi regime. This lectureship is designed to promote greater understanding of human rights and
democracy, and enrich international studies at UW-Madison. The lecture brings to campus a person who contributed
to the cause of human rights through academic scholarship and/or active leadership.
