''I will be talking about how my memoir, through a series of evocative vignettes, casts light on the impact of being the child of activist political refugees from Nazi Germany. It is often supposed that a person born in the UK will not feel like an outsider but this talk will consider how far the shadow of the past shaped my lived experience and sense of being as well as the contrary ways by which I became a revolutionary''
