August Friedrich Kellner Foi um social-democrata alemão, inspetor de justiça e autor de um diário escrito secretamente durante o domínio do Terceiro Reich. Depois da guerra, Kellner explicou o propósito de sua obra:
«Eu não podia lutar contra o regime Nazista no presente, pois tinham o poder de silenciar minha voz. Assim decidi lutar contra eles no futuro, daria as gerações futuras uma arma contra qualquer ressurgimento desse mal, meus diários registram os atos bárbaros que praticaram.»«Se Hitler ganhasse a guerra, ele reescreveria a história a fim de encobrir seus atos bárbaros, se perdesse a guerra seus seguidores diminuiriam os seus atos a fim de se protegerem.»
