- Summary:
- This fascinating memoir by Sibylle Sarah Niemoller, a woman involved in several important historical episodes surrounding World War II and efforts for world peace in the years following the conflict, provides readers with a glimpse into the life of this Prussian aristocrat, anti-Nazi insurgent, and peace activist. Fleeing Germany after her family's involvement with the plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944, Niemoller worked in media in the United States, eventually marrying pastor Martin Niemoller and joining him in his efforts at pacifist resistance and anti-war activism. The text is arranged in a series of short chapters that offer detailed accounts of events that provide a unique look at this interesting life.
