...Church until Vatican II renewal, Barth had to concede that some of his most astute interpreters were Catholic theologians. He mixed profound spiritual insights with a wit that could be caustic or self-critical; a friend called him the only Swiss with a sense of humor. He was aggressively anti-Nazi, yet strangely unconcerned about Communist aggression. An ordained minister of the Reformed Church, he delivered his best sermons before those whom he called his fellow sinners-the prisoners in the Basel jail...
...overcome. Much in the '30's style, with a measure of Arthur Miller, Lerner has attempted a well-knit family drama tackling a coherent question: is exile a valid means of protesting repression? Lerner narrows in on this subject through the character of an 18-year-old anti-Nazi whose conviction derives largely from jealousy. The secondary theme is thus the effect of personal motives on the legitimacy of political sentiment...
Martin, the anti-Nazi, leaves Germany in 1936 and returns ten years after, now an officer in the British army. There ensues a short, implausible, and generally drippy re-encounter with his brother Klaus (who covets a Nazi flag, significantly over-lit) and the play ends with the suggestion that Martin, for leaving the country, may be responsible for his parents' concentration camp deaths.

Largely educated in the Soviet Union, to which his father had migrated a few years after a brief, unhappy stay in the U.S., Dubček was an anti-Nazi partisan during World War II. Since Czechs and ethnic balances are still essential in Czechoslovakia's ruling circles, Premier Jozef Lenárt, another Slovak, will probably be pushed aside for Chief Economic Planner Oldřich Cernik, 44, a Czech who had been generally considered the front...
Confirmation Flunked. There was an element of incongruity in their relationship. Bonhoeffer was a mature intellectual with a passionate commitment both to Christian theology and the anti-Nazi underground; Maria, half his age, had no zest for either theology or politics. The two first met in 1936; Bonhoeffer was 30, she was twelve. At the time, he was operating an underground seminary for anti-Nazi divinity students in Finkenwalde; Maria, member of an aristocratic, landed family, was living nearby with her grandmother, who asked Bonhoeffer to include the girl in a confirmation class for Maria's older brother...
