Rezensionen
'Of the various studies on the debate surrounding anti-Fascism and resistance in the GDR, Joanne Sayner's research into the life writings of Greta Kuckhoff provides a wealth of new material relating to this less well-known figure of Nazi resistance and the GDR public sphere. Most importantly, her book provides insights from the life of a woman in high positions fighting for an appropriate public remembrance of the anti-Fascist resisters she alone outlived.' - Modern Language Review
