reviewed Franz Jagerstatter: Letters and Writings from Prison on February 29, 2020 Franz Jagerstatter: Letters and Writings from Prison
This has to be one of the most profound books I have ever read. I am tempted to stop there. But I won't! Franz Jagerstatter was an uneducated, Austrian farmer in the Alps, eking out a living on a small farm with a wife and 3 children under age 5 when he was drafted into WWII to serve under Hitler. He refused to give his allegiance to Hitler and was ultimately beheaded in 1943, because of this act and his faith in Christ and the Catholic Church. The book is divided into 3 sections. His life story written by Jim Forest, an Orthodox Christian, his and his wife's letters while he was in captivity and a series of thoughts he wrote while in prison. The first 2 sections were incredibly moving to me as you watch the inevitable looming death and the words spoken over his defiance which leaves the wife with a mother in law, 3 small children and the responsibilities of running a farm singlehanded. But she stood by her husband and when the Catholic Church granted beatification to him, many years later, she at age 94 was able to attend.
This courageous story of a couple and the hardships they endured after only 7 years of marriage, is profound. The movie made about their life is great. A Hidden Life. But the book was even better, at least for me. Thank you Joan Moulton for introducing me to this!
