109. The Traitors Circle: The Rebels Against the Nazis and the Spy Who Betrayed Them
Guildhall

Guardian columnist, broadcaster and best-selling author Jonathan Freedland tells the story of a remarkable group of German anti-Nazi dissenters. In Berlin, 1943, a circle of high-society rebels; countesses, diplomats, educators and intelligence officers, risked everything to resist Hitler, rescue Jews, and imagine a free Germany. Yet even among their trusted ranks, betrayal lurked: one spy would bring them to the attention of the Gestapo. Freedland brings to life their courage, ingenuity and peril, asking a question that resonates today: what does it take to stand up to tyranny when the world is aligned against you?
