You watch the men take Paul from your apartment-do you warn the others?

In this episode, we follow Roberta Gropper’s life from a cigarette factory in Ulm to the halls of the Reichstag, then into arrest and a Soviet camp. We trace the choices, loyalties, and the single sentence she speaks in custody that will haunt her comrades and the movement-what would you do in her place?
