Despite my interest in films (Sophie Scholl, The White Rose, The Black Book) that illustrate German resistance to Hitler, I lacked the motivation to see “Valkyrie”, a movie that NYFCO colleague Armond White regarded as “intellectually insulting”. Fortunately, there is an alternative. You can now rent “The Restless Conscience: Resistance to Hitler in Nazi Germany” from Netflix, a documentary that features survivors of the plot to kill Hitler as well as the wives of some of the martyrs to the cause. Since the movie was made in 1992, this is the only record we have of their testimony since most of the interviewees are likely now deceased.
