Nasty Girl
The true story of a young woman in a small German town who entered a school essay contest during the 1970s, writing on what her town did during World War II. What she finds to her surprise and dismay is that the Catholic clergy and businessmen whom she was raised to respect and admire, and whom she fervently believed defied the Nazis, did just the opposite. And, after deciding to write a book on the subject, the more she digs, the more she is thwarted and actually threatened physically by rock throwing and bombs.
