In 1978 we produced the 35 min. documentary "Du sollst dich nie vor einem lebenden Menschen bucken" Willi Bleicher, directed by Hannes Karnick and Wolfgang Richter. It is a portrait of a famous post war trade union leader of the region of Stuttgart. He was the opponent of Hans Martin Schleyer, head of association of industry, kidnapped and killed by terrorists. Bleicher was imprisoned by the Nazi rule due to his political engagement as trade unionist and communist. In the camp of Buchenwald he saved the life of a child brought into the camp. This story was the basis of the novel "Nackt unter Wolfen" by the author Bruno Apitz - also a feature film was produced in the former GDR. After the war he spoke very seldom of this experience, fearing the people would not believe what happened.

She's published several, and has a book: Selling Free Enterprise: The Business Assault on Labor and Liberalism (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1994) . There's also Nathan Godfried's book WCFL: Chicago's Voice of Labor, 1926-1978 (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1997). And have you ever seen the Paul Muni/Michael Curtiz film Black Fury from 1935? Classic WB.
