History Club at Amager: The Mystery of Olga Eggers

From popular women's rights advocate and peace activist to one of the most notorious Nazis of the occupation era.
Sofie Lene Bak delves into Olga Eggers' complex life and fate. How could a woman who had previously written empathically and indignantly about discrimination and persecution of Jews end up, during the occupation, an editor at the extremely anti-Semitic journal Kampand a rabid front figure in the Danish Anti-Jewish League?
Sofie Lene Bak has as a historian researched the history of anti-Semitism. In 2025, she published the book “Spite and Tragedy. A Biography of Olga Eggers”.

Praktiskhistorieklubben På Amager is jointly operated by Kvarterhuset, Islands Brygge Bibliotek and Sundby Library.
We call ourselves a club, but everyone is welcome and the arrangements are publicly available.
