Karl, this might be close to your heart - an interesting film about a life of Rosa Luxemburg with Barbara Sukowa, the same who was St. Hildegarde de Bingen. Barbara is in this movie with Daniel Olbrychski, mysterious Polish nobleman. Later they had a love child
this movie is also a part of a new German wave, which signifies a role of women. I have to give credit to Pieter for showing these movies to us!

Pieter has been very good with sharing such interesting informational films and relate back ground information to bring to us the fruits of his skills as both a camera technition and related media skills. A very rare combination credited with his eye for detail and the skills of an artist, then to combine this all with his skills in representing his finds in the manner of understanding.
The story of Rosa Luxemburg does bring more light upon her efferts as representing the womens rightful role in modifying the wrongs of the government as depected in her time. With this, the cost of her efferts with her life and what she was not to know in later times of Socialism in the Russian manner: The following best describes her situation:
"She was a brilliant oratorian. If the German Government had been smarter, they would have jailed her until things calmed down, instead of executing her. They could have released her in the mid 1920's. After Stalin took power in Russia, she would have realized the folly of following the Bolshevic way. It's the lack of brilliant leaders like her, that paved the way for Hitler. If the German Unions still had a powerful speaker like her, the masses would NEVER have voted for Hitler. By killing her, the Germans killed their own hope of avoiding millions of deaths in the worst war the World has seen".

Karl, interesting. I am not sure whether Rosa would understand the cruelty of Soviet Union, since many left-lining intellectuals did not, still interesting. She had many skills.
In Poland we really did not like her since she was considered one of the stereotyped communists. There was an important textile plant that took a name after her. We also knew that she did not want Poland to become independent. Now, there is an effort to give some honor back to her. She didn't hate Poland, she was just opposing to the idea of Poland as an independent country, she lived through the times when Poland was divided.
