Exhibit Honors Former UW Alumna, Nazi Opponent

Mildred Fish-Harnack is a woman WISC-TV has profiled before. The Wisconsin-born scholar is considered a heroine in Eastern Europe, leading a Nazi resistance effort that saved lives. She was one of the only Americans executed in Nazi Germany during the war. Now her efforts with the resistance group, the Red Orchestra, are part of an on campus exhibit by Franz Rudolph Knubel open through December 1.
