Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1905-1942)

00:30:46

Margaret Sullivan reading the first part of a 24 page untitled essay by R.L. Yorck [presumably Countess Ruth Landshoff-Yorck von Wartenburg]. It recounts how Ruth Landshoff-Yorck met Annemarie Schwarzenbach through “Peter”, a mutual friend, and their subsequent relationship. It also covers Schwarzenbach’s relationship with her brother and her eventual death.

Sullivan reads the essay very carefully, spelling out names of people and places.
