These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

February 16, 2014

Fast approaching the 20th anniversary of the beginnings of our White Rose research (July 1994), sometimes it’s easy to feel a little blue about this work.

Kim’s Dad and the White Rose

September 10, 2013

0

I have always wondered why I, the granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and child of a farmworker, am so fascinated by resistance to the Nazis during the Third Reich. I am neither German nor Jewish.
