Meet Joanne Intrator, Author of "Summons to Berlin: Nazi Theft and A Daughter's Quest for Justice"
Joanne Intrator was the daughter of German Jewish refugees. Since childhood, she pondered why people perpetrate atrocities on their fellow human beings. She will discuss "Summons to Berlin," her memoir, which documents her investigation surrounding the theft of her family’s property in East Berlin and her fight for restitution. Her journey has been the subject of news articles, television interviews, and museum exhibits. Joanne practices psychiatry in New York City and has written for "The Journal for The Study of Antisemitism" and "Ästhetik & Kommunikation" (Berlin), among others. She also writes a blog on psychopathy for "Psychology Today."
