I am 14 and she is 11 and it's inspirational that a 17 year old was able to stand up for what he believed to be right even in the face of death. He has even inspired me to stand up for what I believe to be right even if someone gets mad at me. I am obsessed with Helmuth Hubener ( yes that's a little freaky) and want to know everything I can about him. Can't wait to see the movie( and cara I sort of agree with the last thing you said!!!that's a little freaky too!!!) Me and my sister read this book, and we both LOVED it!

What makes this an exception is that it is about ordinary working class Germans and how they were duped into believing in their Messiah. It is a testament to the goodness in most people that Ann Frank spoke about. That Helmuth fails in the end to change the evil he fought against is not as important as that he tried. Sad to say Hegel was right in that "What we learn from History is that we learn nothing from History". When will we ever learn?
