Resistance Women by Jennifer Chiaverini @jchiaverini ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

"Students, SA, SS, Hitler Youth - toward the Opernplatz they marched, row after row of them, their faces sinister in the garish light.  In their arms were books seized from school libraries, from book shops, from shelves in homes were Mildred imagined bewildered parents lamenting the strange fanaticism that had transformed their beloved children into frightening strangers.  A thunderous roar of voices drew her attention back to the square, where torches were flung upon the pile of books, smoldering and smoking, rising into flame." (p 117)
