ulrike meinhof

I'm reading a biography of Ulrike Meinhof (by Alois Prinz) right now and as I was reading just now I thought: "She was a better person than me." And then I was shocked at what I'd just thought, considering that what Meinhof is known for is being part of the political/terrorist organization Baader-Meinhof Group in 1970s Germany.

I have just reached the first mention of Andreas Baader and I had to put the book down, slightly queasy, cause I know it just gets bad from here.
