Rebellious Spirit

This book is a powerful chronicle of Gisela Konopka's professional and personal life. Konopka transformed the residues of a traumatic life in Nazi Germany into a profound compassion for the dignity of the human condition and the rights of group members, and a deep concern for the needs and well-being of disenfranchised children and youth, which were expressed via her teaching, and her numerous publications and speaking engagements as a public intellectual.
