George Bush Presidential Library Exhibit |

The World War Two diary of the German justice inspector, Friedrich Kellner, was put on public display for the first time in the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas. The exhibit ran from April 1 through May 30, 2005, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of VE-Day, Victory in Europe Day (May 8, 1945). The diary was translated into English by his grandson, Dr. Robert Scott Kellner. Many of the diary entries have an uncanny resemblance to the newspaper headlines of today, and it may be that Friedrich Kellner's answer to the terrorism that afflicted the world in the 1940's is applicable in our own time. In 2007, CCI Entertainment of Toronto, Canada, made a movie about the lives of Friedrich Kellner and Robert Scott Kellner, entitled "My Opposition: the Diaries of Friedrich Kellner." |
