The Boy Who Dared
Susan Campbell Bartoletti
In October, 1942, seventeen-year-old Helmuth Hübener, imprisoned for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets, recalls his past life and how he came to dedicate himself to bring the truth about Hitler and the war to the German people.  (Some students may be interested in the fact that this boy belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.)
