Homework: students are to use their online texts to answer the questions for Resisting Hitler.
Did Helmuth receive a fair trial?
Why was his penalty so severe?
Was his belief worth the loss of his life? Do you believe in something so strongly you would die for it?
Could Helmuth have done things differently to spread the news he heard on the BBC so it may not cost him his life?
The connection I made (tell the part in the story Resisting Hitler) is like when (tell the connection you are comparing it to).
