In February 1943, around 2,000 non-Jewish Germans - mostly women - gathered outside the Rosenstrasse detention centre in Berlin, where their Jewish husbands and loved-ones had been rounded up and held by the Gestapo. In a remarkable turn of events, their continuing protests eventually secured the release of those held. 

Nathan Stoltzfus was awarded the Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History by the Wiener Holocaust Library for this work.
