Doug Moe: New film tells tale of Wisconsin woman executed by Nazis

In five years, Joel Waldinger has gone from not knowing the name Mildred Fish-Harnack to trying to make sure everyone else does. It has meant three trips to Germany for Waldinger, a Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) producer. He has conducted interviews, scoured archives and raised funds in an effort to learn and then relate the story of Fish-Harnack, a tale well worth telling. Mildred Fish-Harnack was a Milwaukee native, a UW-Madison student, a Wisconsin State Journal reporter ? and the only American woman executed by the Nazis on the direct order of Adolf Hitler.
