| Remembering the Resistance to Hitler |
| 2004-09-26 |
| Beate Ruhm von Oppen fled Hitler, worked for the British intelligence during WWII and became known, not only as a musicologist with a special love for Bach, but also as an authority on the Christian resistance to Hitler. She won the prestigious Geschister-Scholl prize in 1989 for her German edition of the letters of Helmuth von Moltke, the executed resistance leader. She died recently and I thought Rantburgers might want to read my tribute to her over at Winds of Change, as she taught at my undergraduate school. Her stories about the resistance left no doubt in my mind that tyranny and evil must be resisted wherever they occur. |
