No us perdeu aquest fil sobre Mildred Harnack l'escriptora i traductora nord-americana q es va integrar a la resistència antinazi alemanya junt amb el seu marit Arvid Harnack.

In August 1934, American journalist Dorothy Thompson was expelled from Germany. Adolf Hitler personally ordered her out of the country due to Thompson's unflattering coverage of him years before. She traveled to France and gave this speech about the importance of a free press.

#OTD my great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s order. In 1932 she began holding clandestine meetings in her Berlin apt. By 1940 the group was the largest resistance network in Berlin. During this fraught time in the world, her story is more urgent than ever.

Rebecca was generous enough to share some of her extensive research on her great great aunt with us in this double podcast episode, which is more timely now than ever: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e63-64…

#OTD Sophie Scholl, age 21, was executed by guillotine at Stadelheim Prison in Munich. A key member of the White Rose resistance group, she sought to overthrow the Nazi regime. My biography of this immeasurably courageous young woman will be published by Random House in 2026.
