With Rita Reinecker, Author. Join us as Rita discusses her book, “Dance with Me, Papa - Confessions of a Nasty Child”, and her life that inspired it. Rita’s book is a fascinating portal into WWII Germany, and the years that followed, through her eyes. The daughter of famous German writer Herbert Reinecker, Rita invites us on her journey to understand her life and life choices through her exploration of her relationship with both her parents - a beloved father who was emotionally and physically unavailable, and a mother whose love included liberal amounts of shame. “Dance with me, Papa, Confessions of a Nasty Child” offers readers an intimate account of life in post-war Germany as it explores family dynamics, and the role upbringing plays in mate selection and marriage. Rita emigrated to the United States in 1966 and lives in Minneapolis, MN. This program is free and open to the public. No pre-registration needed.
