Abstract:
"This is an essay in cultural history. It examines the place of a distinguished German artist - Käthe Kollwitz - in the time of the Kaiser, the Weimar Republic and Hitler's Third Reich. It throws new light on the nature of her dissent which was motivated by religious as much as social concerns."--Back cover.
