BIRTH
Henrietta Barth worked as a secretary in the business office for the 1943-44 school year.
While at the College, she typed and mimeographed translations of Brecht plays, "The Private Life of the Master Race," for Eric Bentley. Barth applied to be a student and her application was rejected for the spring 1944 semester.
In her application, she shared “I expect to gain further knowledge in subjects I am interested in. I also want to satisfy my quenchless thirst for knowledge of things I know nothing about. I want to be shown the road to the future self education.” After BMC, Henrietta served in the war effort for WW2.
She did attend a course with Charlot in the 1944 Summer Art Institute, where he noted "attentive - fair ability" on her course card.
Alternative name: Henrietta Wexler
