🦋 Resistance and Persecution

One of the first things I thought of in response to Dave's post about authoritarian "followers", was Michael Verhöven's 1991 movie, The Nasty Girl. Reacquainted myself with it through the providence of Wikipædia; I had forgotten it was based on a true story. The woman whose experience was the basis for the movie wrote (in 1985) a book about her town's history, Widerstand und Erfolgung Am Beispiel Passaus 1933-1939, which I am a little shocked to see has never been printed in English (that I can find).

I use a site called booksold.com http://booksold.com/indexabe.html
I found at least 4 books searching by her name Anna Rosmus.
Wintergreen: Suppressed Murders
Out of Passau: Leaving a City Hitler Called Home
A German Jew Looks Back
and
Against the Stream: Growing Up Where Hitler Used to Live

They all seem to have been translated by Imogen Von Tannenberg.

Yep, those are all later books -- Resistance and Persecution, which was her first book and the one which grew out of Rosmus' experience that's portrayed in the movie, is the one that's not translated. I'm not certain but I believe she emigrated to the U.S. at some point; she may have continued to write in German though.
