Harnack and Arvid, who met and married while at the University of Wisconsin, were a young academic couple living in Berlin when Adolf Hitler became chancellor in 1933.
Her most precious source, however, is the memory of Donald Heath junior, who was the 11-year-old son of an American diplomat when he began acting as Harnack's secret courier.
Harnack's niece, Jane Donner, saw to it that the story was handed down to her own granddaughter, Rebecca Donner - who has produced a compelling portrait of her forebear's courage, along with that of her German husband Arvid and their comrades.
Harnack is the surname of a German family of intellectuals, artists, mathematicians, scientists, theologians and those in other fields. Several family members were executed by the Nazis during the last years of the Third Reich.
