Took 'em long enough! I read it in German years and years ago, and then went on to read up on the real people the book was based on.<br /><br />I have a vested interest in stories like this; I'm of German heritage and still have a lot of family in the old country. During the time of the National Socialist regime many of my relatives in Germany were involved in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessing_Church" rel="nofollow">Confessing Church</a>, a protest movement within the German Protestant church resisting the "aryanization" of the church. One of my relatives was a clergyman and a signer of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barmen_Declaration" rel="nofollow">Barmen Declaration</a> and was a close colleague of Martin Niemöller and Dietrich Bonhoeffer; he was imprisoned and died there. And growing up I learned about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose" rel="nofollow">Hans and Sophie Scholl and the White Rose pamphlet conspiracy</a>; for much of my teenage years they were my heroes. They still are, for that matter.<br /><br />I always bring these stories up when I hear people blame "the Germans" for the Holocaust and WWII; it wasn't "the Germans", it was the National Socialists (Nazis), and not only did not all Germans belong to the Party, many even actively resisted it. That's a part of German history I'm very proud of!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.com
