About the Show
In honor of Women’s History Month, Holocaust Museum LA presents a staged reading of the new play
Ordinary Girls. The reading will be followed by a conversation with playwright Elin Hampton. Based on a riveting true story,
Ordinary Girls is about teenagers Truus Menger-Oversteegen, Freddie Oversteegen and Hannie Schaft, recruited by the Dutch underground to seduce and assassinate German officers during World War II. Their harrowing experiences create a compelling and moving drama of life and loss.
