Alone in Berlin

…1940. German troops triumphantly enter Paris. Ordinary Germans rejoice in unison with the Reich’s leadership, anticipating the imminent defeat of England and the establishment of German world domination. In such an atmosphere, it takes either a hero or a madman to challenge the regime—or someone who has nothing left to lose. After receiving a telegram announcing the death of his only son, the carpenter Otto Quangel declares war on Nazism. Together with his wife Anna, they write and distribute postcards calling for resistance. But their fellow countrymen don’t listen to the voice of truth—sticky fear paralyzes their will and rots their souls.
