Helmuth James Graf von Moltke

Helmuth James Graf von Moltke was a German jurist who, as a draftee in the German Abwehr, acted to subvert German humanrights abuses of people in territories occupied by Germany during World War II and subsequently became a founding member of the Kreisau Circle resistance group, whose members opposed the government of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.

Helmuth James Graf von Moltke was born in Kreisau in the Province of Silesia. His mother, Dorothy , was a South African of British descent, the daughter of Sir James Rose Innes, Chief Justice of the Union of South Africa from 1914 to 1927. Moltkes parents were Christian Scientists, his mother adopting his fathers religion after marriage. His father became a Christian Science practitioner and teacher and both parents were in the group that translated the first German edition of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. For reasons of family tradition, Moltke decided to become confirmed Evangelical when he was 14.
