My Opposition

A remarkable account of Nazi Germany at war and of one man's struggle against totalitarianism. Friedrich Kellner's diary unflinchingly charts the country's path to dictatorship and genocide, and demonstrates just how much ordinary Germans really knew about the actions of the Nazi regime.

Autor

Friedrich Kellner (1885-1970) was the courthouse administrative manager in the town of Laubach, near Frankfurt, during the Second World War.

Rezensionen

'What is it like to be an isolated democrat in a highly popular dicatorship? This wartime diary will tell you. Just how this keenly observed book came to be published is an extraordinary story for itself. And Friedrich Kellner's day-to-day encounters with enthusiastic, gullible Hitler supporters in his hometown reveal a morally steadfast, but basically lonely German citizen whose perspective is bracing, incisive, and still pertinent to our times.' Peter Fritzsche, University of Illinois
